   Lyn Stewart is nothing more then an antiAmerican crusader. She lines her pockets at the expense of the American public all the while defending and crusadeing to eliminate the Constitution.

   Her ideology and support for those who want to eliminate America and are wayof life is disgusting. 30 Years would have been way to little time for her to serve. A seditionist and traitor like her should have been marched out in the middle of time square, lock in the stocks for a week then shot publicly.

   To harsh? Not when it comes down to the basic me or them mentality. In her case she has them over the me.

   Considering how the left believes that christianity creates terrorists, I’m surprised that these judges aren’t going to keep her in protective custody. Instead, according to liberal dogma, they are about to sentence her to certain death. If only …

   Why did we outlaw public hanging in 1936?
   Why don’t traitors still get the Death Penalty?
   Isn’t Sedition still against the Law? or the Constitution?

   I don’t recall ever hearing of a case (at least since the close of the Civil War) where someone was charged with Sedition. I know a few guys selling secrets have been charged with Treason, but I think they use that charge WAYYYY too sparingly in these times.

   If there was ever any doubt about the ideology being taught in our “Centers of higher education indoctrination” this should remove any and all doubt.

   Two Questions:

   Is she still teaching legal ethics at Hofsta?

   If she smuggled documents (thatwould have promoted further harm to U.S. citizens)into the terrorist that she was representing - didn’t she become a TRAITOR?

   Do we still have firing squads for TRAITORS?

   I say we make Lynne Stewart the Jihad Virgin Poster Child.

   For those of us who cannot understand why this “thing” was not punished more severely, we need to be reminded that punishing attorneys is not the compassionate, politically correct thing to do.

   They do so much good, in general, especially for the misunderstood, miscreant masses that kill, rape, maim, and terrorize in the name of whatever.

   They give a voice to the under-represented criminal masses, not only nationally, but internationally as well. This delicate “creature” was only following her heart. How can we condemn such a compassionate spirit?

   She should be held up as an example of the American Dream. A beacon for tolerance, fairness, forgiveness, and gullibility, which permeates our liberal justice system. NOT!!!

   For those that want a kinder, gentler form of punsihment for this traitor, well, “Here’s your sign!”

    As an attorney, I understand the need to have anyone tried in our justice system represented by competent counsel. It is not to protect the individual, frequently; rather, it is to protect the Constitution we should all cherish.

    But this “woman” is the arch-type for the unpatriotic, America-loathing Left. She has made hating and demolishing America her life’s work, and now she has been caught WAAAAYYYY over the line.

    She should have been given decades behind bars, and never allowed to speak to anyone associated with the law except her own unfortunate lawyers.

    If Lynne Stewart hates America so much and is so buddy-buddy with Islamic terrorists, I think we should ship her off to Eygpt with her little sheik friend. I’m sure her little feminazi and anarcho-Marxist sentiments will be greatly received there.

    While our system of justice requires legal counsel to everyone charged with a crime, It also requires that said legal counsel be law abiding themselves. Yes, I think most commenters here are harsh, I also think that she should be punished for her crimes.
    I also wouldn’t mind seeing her exiled to someplace like Egypt or Iran.

    The charge of treason carries a range of penalties from a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in jail to a maximum sentence of the death penalty. The charge of providing material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization carries a potential sentence of 15 years in prison.

    The thought of having a woman attorney representing a Muslim, cracks me up! I’ll bet the Sheik felt comfortable around her because there was no sexual tension, nor temptation…Oh, wait. Sheik Rahman is blind…now I get it. He didn’t have to look at her. How precious!

    A criminal hostile to the United States, like that of Ted Kennedy’s excursions to the Soviet Union during the Reagan years, should be held accountable and purged.

    Allowing this trash to teach is likened to gasoline teaching fire to burn.

    The facts in this case cry out for a harsh sentence. And the judge here needs to be removed for abuse of his judicial powers.

    If Stewart receives a sentence of less than 30 years, perhaps the trial judge should serve the difference between 30 years and Stewart’s sentence. Such a light sentence is tantamount to aiding and abetting an aider and abetter. That just might put an end to judicial policy making.

    Stewart is already rotten, decomposing and disgustingly stagnant putrid waste product to the core…. just look at her.
    What she must do is rot in jail for the rest of her rotten life. I’m sure there are plenty of her kind in prison that she can rot with…all together now, a ROT-IN.
    She is terrorist feces wrapped in a flesh bag. And no bow.

    Gee…another Liberal who probably thinks that she was “sacraificing” herself…that she was being “brave” in standing up against the trannical rule of King George. She was “Speaking Truth to Power” as it were. Yes, while not a damn one of them will lift a finger to save their own country men, and would probably watch as their mothers and fathers die before getting them help if it meant compromising some real or imagined boycotted medical center, they have no issue at all with lending aid to the enemy of all the freedoms the flaunt so recklessl and claim to bel osing and that the lie and claim has been taken away from them

    Yes, I am not surprised by this at all. I would be willing to bet the political leanings of the jusdge that lightly slapped her wrist were not escatly Right of center, let alone anywhee near conservative.

    How much more damage can we afford to take to our soverignty, security and safety before someone in Washington finally takes these anti-American, seditious SOB’s serious and finally begins to try and punish them all for the various acts of teason and sedition they commit on any given day?

    I seriously doubt that the majority ofthe people in this country would have a problem with any of them going to the gallows or before a firing squad. It has gone on too long and definaltely gone too far.

    Despite an explicit pledge to uphold Abdel-Rahman’s court-ordered isolation, Stewart, a jury found, smuggled in messages from terrorist Rifa’l Ahman Tara urging the sheik to support renewed Islamic violence in Egypt - then smuggled out a coded dispatch that torpedoed a cease-fire between the sheik’s terror organization and the Egyptian government.

    If that’s not abetting terrorism, it’s hard to say what is.

    So, most likely, people died in Egypt as a result of the notes passed back and forth between the terrorist and the starry eyed “lawyer”. Judge Koeltl and Judge Guido Calabresi should be scrutinized because of these “poor judgements”.

    So now a terrorist sympathizer is preparing to teach a legal ethics class at Hofstra U.? Wow, talk about falling through the looking glass…

    Yes, Hofstra will allow convicted traitors to be welcomed and lecture to their students, but look at this!

    The Full Faculty of Hofstra University voted overwhelmingly to support a resolution against the University’s exclusive contract with Coca-Cola.

    Here is the good part:

    As educators, we often encourage our students to see how they are connected to the world around them. How their fates are interconnected with the fates of people living and working in different neighborhoods, different cities, even different countries. How human practices of production and consumption are connected with the quality of the natural environment… Moreover, as educators, we encourage our students to become aware of and engaged in the pressing issues of our times. In so doing we seek to make our shared vision of participatory democracy a meaningful reality…I was, therefore, particularly pleased when Hofstra students overwhelmingly passed a referendum calling upon the Administration not to renew our university’s exclusive vending contract with Coca-Cola due to the corporation’s profiting from human rights violations and environmental degradation…As an institution of higher education we are the voice of conscience in our society. As an institution of over 10,000 people, we also have the consumer power necessary to promote responsible corporate practices. I call upon my fellow faculty members to express our strongest desire to no longer subsidize a corporation that profits from the murdering of trade union leaders, that profits from the use of child labor, and that profits from the sale of toxic chemicals.

    I guess profiting from treason against the US and supporting Islamic violence in those different countries is okey dokey, but the horrors of Coca Cola must be stamped out at any cost!
