A federal appeals court has ordered a civil rights lawyer convicted in a terrorism case that originated in Minnesota to begin serving her prison sentence.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan today also upheld Lynne Stewart's conviction, which was based in part on illegally aiding her client, Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, during a visit with him at the federal prison in Rochester, Minn., in May 2000.
She was convicted of smuggling messages between Abdel-Rahman and a terrorist group.
Stewart was sentenced to a little more than two years in prison.

Two years is certainly not enough time for treason.
....Stewart also endorsed the sheikh's ghostwritten fatwa, calling for the murder of Jews and Americans.[27] [27 U.S. vs. Sattar, p. 11373] When Sattar told Stewart that Ramsey Clark had concerns about the fatwa, she responded, "Does he really think that the American government can completely put this man in an iron box and cut him off from the whole world?"[28] [28 U.S. vs. Sattar, p. 2149, reference to "Government Exhibit 1193x"] ------ "Lynne Stewart, Jihadi Lawyer," Sharon Chadha, netWMD - The War to Mobilize Democracy ^ | January 11, 2006 | http://netwmd.com/blog/2006/01/11/286********
Government investigators searching Stewart's law offices found a draft of the sheikh's fatwa that bin Laden later said inspired him.[14][14 The New York Post, Oct. 8, 2004]
In it, Abdel Rahman enjoined his fellow Muslims everywhere to kill Americans, even children, "to treat them with brutality," and to "drown their ships, shoot down their airplanes, kill them on earth, in the sea or in the sky, kill them everywhere you find them" in order to obtain his release from U.S. prison.[15] [15] U.S. vs. Sattar, p. 7126, also referenced as "Government Exhibit, 2638," p. 11122; CNN.com, Aug. 20, 2002. .------ "Lynne Stewart, Jihadi Lawyer," Sharon Chadha, netWMD - The War to Mobilize Democracy ^ | January 11, 2006 | http://netwmd.com/blog/2006/01/11/286
Obviously Dick Durbin doesn't know his history, not even the recent stuff.

(NLG) Stewart’s arguments found a receptive audience in the National Lawyers Guild, which featured her as a speaker and, in the wake of the guilty verdicts, called for a “National Day of Outrage.” Billionaire philanthropist George Soros’s Open Society Institute contributed $20,000 to her defense.[39][39 The National Review, Feb. 17, 2005]
She had long been popular among the Left. She had represented Black Panthers, the Weather Underground, and murderers of policemen.[40][40] Los Angeles Times, July 27, 2002; The New York Post, Feb. 11, 2005]
Various and assorted socialist organizations and fronts including Refuse and Resist, Pravda, and the World Socialist Website rallied behind her.[41] [41 World Socialist website, Feb. 14, 2005; On-Line Pravda, Apr. 11, 2002; Refuse and Resist, Oct. 29, 2004, Aug. 1, 2005]

MY EYES!!!!
On the “Helen Thomas Scale of Antipulchritude”, with Helen being the Perfect 10, I would give this alleged woman an 8.
Part of her sentencing should be making her shave.
Thanks for adding details to this thread piasa.
I remember the original judge praised her at the trial. Crazy.
Lynn Stewart is so ugly,
when she joined an ugly contest, they said “Sorry, no professionals.”
they didn’t give her a costume when she tried out for Star Wars.
when she walks into a bank, they turn off the surveillence cameras
her mom had to be drunk to breast feed her
if ugly were bricks she’d have her own projects.
they pay her to put her clothes on in strip joints.
she made an onion cry.
when they took her to the beautician it took 12 hours. . .for a quote!
she tried to take a bath the water jumped out!
she looks out the window and got arrested for mooning.
Ted Dansen wouldn’t date her!
she turned Medusa to stone!
The NHL banned her for life
she manages to give Freddy Kreuger Nightmares!
her shadow ran away from her!
I took her to a haunted house and she came out with a pay check!
Greenpeace mistook her for an endangered elephant!
when she walks in the kitchen, the rats jump on the table and start screaming!
Hey, but seriously, folks I’ve found the perfect weight loss system, I’ll put her picture on my refridgerator door.
Sow-ish, traitorous loser.
Can you please Photoshop a burka on that?
;-)
It’s a good time to send a message to defense attorneys considering terrorists are about to flood our legal system.
She looks like fell our of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. Twice.
She'd make a freight train take a dirt road. End over end.Backwards.
So ugly her momma had to tie a pork chop around her neck to get the dog to play with her.
Sigh, my kids can be such fonts of insult, abuse and insinuations.
