It was the fourth injustice against a woman who spent a lifetime advocating for society's most disadvantaged. It followed two falsified indictments, a kangaroo court proceeding, and an unjustifiable conviction on all counts. Combined they represent an outrageous miscarriage of justice.
An appeals verdict is due any time, and legions of Stewart supporters hope justice delayed won't be denied to her. She deserves full exoneration, readmittance to the state bar, and to be able again to represent society's most unwanted who need her advocacy and remain hopeful. So does everyone who respects the law at a time it's being desecrated.

I am a 72 year old, retired, progressive small businessman concerned about all the major national and world issues, committed to speak out and write about them.
we are guilty because they say we are. we are also guilty because they wish us to be. we are guilty because they rule that we are.
but why are we not free because we say we are, and wish us to be, and rule that we are.
take to the streets and lanes. take our burdens and chains. take the chance to unburden our tired brains. make the earth tilt with the magnetism of hope and love. tell america i love what you were but not what you have become. i am here to change the tidal wave. it will take much strength. it will take a horde of beings.
it will be done. it will be won. it will be until we still the seas and trample the earth with our love. we will take our country back by overturning the arbitrary powers. by overturning the unrighteous. by overturning our beliefs in a ruling class. we will rule , the people, and not the plutocrats.
for peace shall come only with our wresting away the sham of representatives who bow to the cfr and northrop and evangelical crazies.
our flag will be an empty pole with rope holding only air. our song of our nation will be imagine by john lennon. our nation will not be subsumed by mexico nor canada nor the european union. we will no longer be divisive and think of ourselves of american jew, afro-american, irish american, nor wasp, nor muslim. we are one.

We are all hoping for the best out of this travesty and that she is finally exonerated. The way the DOJ operates you can almost automatically believe that justice has been thwarted when they are involved.

It also lends creedence to the argument that the real threat to freedom doesn't come from attorney advocates who defend alleged terrorists, but from Federalist Society stooges who undermine the the very laws that make all of us free.
I have been very aware of their role in the US Supreme Court, something we will have to live with for perhaps decades and long after the Bush/Cheney Cabal is gone. But I hadn't been aware that so many federalist society judges had been planted in the entire legal justice system and dominate it so. If this isn't a threat to democracy then nothing is. The fact they hide behind James Madison is laughable. He must be rolling in his grave! And talk about conspiracy! Theirs seem obvious. To undermine the Constitution of the United States. My prayers go out to Lynne. Also glad to see that a Clinton appointed judge did the right thing.
