Good! The message is: Do NOT conspire with the terrorists. Very simple.

She was NOT convicted for defending the terrorist Sheik as a client, she was convicted for conspiring with and aiding terrorists, by ILLEGALLY carrying messages between the terrorists.

Ya Think ???

Next: the "acluzers"

Lynne Stewart is a traiter, pure and simple, and she's lucky to have gotten off so lightly. I only hope this trend continues and EVERY activist attorney is locked up for 20 years. Next target, activist judges.

In the words of the great Senator from Wisconsin, Uncle Joe McCarthy, "Traitors are not gentlemen, my good friends. They don't understand being treated like gentlemen." I wish Uncle Joe were alive today. I would love to see how the great Senator would have dealt with such anti-American hardcore Socialists like Lynne Stewart.

...several defense attorneys said fear of prosecution could now hamper zealous defense of unpopular clients, including suspected terrorists.

"Zealous defense" of criminals is what has gotten our country in the position it's in with the legal system. The Constitution guarantees a "fair trial" not a zealous defense. The right to a fair trial now means "use any means, trick, convolution needed to get the criminal off".

"she was convicted for conspiring with and aiding terrorists, by ILLEGALLY carrying messages between the terrorists."

And Dear old Ramsey Clark has joined Saddam's defense team. What a SOB. Why do these people continue to live in the USA? I just can't comprehend this BS.

"The threat of 20 years incarceration is a terrible deterrent against zealous advocacy."

Might also deter treason, as well.

[Little Ray]

I certainly HOPE it has a "chilling effect" terrorist sympathizers and other traitors.

Dear traitorous and terrorist lawyers, we gave a gift for you:

Lynn Stewart was not convicted of representing an unpopular client. She was convicted of a crime which had nothing to do with her duties as a lawyer.

This is the third thread on the same story.

Lawyer Accused of Terror Defends Violence

Left-Leaning Attorney Is Guilty of Aiding TerrorCase Has Broad Implications for Civil Liberties

So with these people, it is simply a matter of degrees of popularity, not whether or not a criminal act was committed?

Welcome to the world of the modern leftist, folks.
