Perhaps this is why Obama is taking such a soft approach to terrorists:
NEW YORK — “A disbarred lawyer convicted in a terrorism case should report to prison by Thursday after an appeals court upheld her conviction, a judge said Wednesday.
U.S. District Judge John G. Koeltl said 70-year-old Lynne Stewart should surrender by 5 p.m. Thursday to begin serving a two-year, four-month sentence for her 2005 conviction.
Koeltl had allowed her to remain free on $500,000 bail while she appealed her conviction.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the conviction on Tuesday and said she should begin serving her prison term while Koeltl follows its orders to consider whether her sentence might have been too lenient.
Stewart was convicted of charges that she let a Muslim extremist client communicate with followers while serving a life prison sentence for plotting with others to blow up New York City landmarks even though she had signed papers pledging that she would not allow him to do so.

“Billionaire financier George Soros, whose opposition to President Bush’s conduct of the war on terror caused him to pour millions of dollars into the effort to defeat the president, made a substantial donation to the defense fund for radical lawyer Lynne Stewart, who last week was found guilty of giving aid to Islamic terrorists.”
He needs to go. I don’t care how, but he needs to go.
“The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the conviction on Tuesday and said she should begin serving her prison term while Koeltl follows its orders to consider whether her sentence might have been too lenient.
Don’t you just love the last part of the above sentence. Sounds like Koeltl is getting his comeuppance as well.
Anyone taking any bets as to whether or not she shows.
If she runs, a perfect example of why NYC is just peachy perfect for trying terrorists.
Is she doesn’t run a perfect example of why NYC is just peachy perfect for trying terrorists.
Soros helped the Nazi enemy, and now he’s helping the muslim enemy. But he’s a legend in his own mind.
Great point.
There are plenty more like that one in NYC.
I would say the odds are 50/50 that she runs. The last thing that old hag wants is to go to jail, especially since the judge may order her a longer stay. A year in a federal prison is 11 months and 1 day.
Steward is a rabid communist psychopath so why wouldn’t she lie, aid the Sheik, and use her legal profession to subvert America?
Sounds just like a moslem jihadist.
She is a perfect example of the convergence of Communism/Marxism with jihadist Islam.
She should have been hung like any traitor. Oh, I forgot. Eric Holder pardons terrorists and traitors.
She’s finally going to get her due for her betrayal to this country. Traitors to this country should get more than that.
He has to pardon them. It’s Soros mandated. He’s been running the libtard party for years, it didn’t start in January.
Technical issues are the problem here. Specifically, finding a strong enough rope that can be made into a noose.
“He needs to go. I don’t care how, but he needs to go.”
For a bottle of Macallan and $67 cash, I’ll make it happen.
