Disbarred radical lawyer Lynne Stewart is going to jail - maybe for a lot longer than she thought.

God, I hope so—her being in jail for a long time is exactly what she deserves—actually, less.

I keep reading that obama’s bows were a sign of respect (I believe it was disgusting.). BUT, why is it one-sided?? WHERE is the respect shown from the other side?? NO ONE is asking that!

Two lousy years for treason. The sentencing judge was a liberal fascist. She needs a shave.
