The lawyer recently convicted of passing along orders from her terrorist client to his followers isn't exactly a civil libertarian:

I don't have any problem with Mao or Stalin or the Vietnamese leaders or certainly Fidel locking up people they see as dangerous. Because so often, dissidence has been used by the greater powers to undermine a people's revolution.

Let's not act like her conviction is simply an attempt to dissuade attorneys from representing extremists; what she did was fucked up and she got busted for it.

The Daily Record puts it well:

[A]s a lawyer, she must conduct herself within the rules. Her dissemination of Rahman's calls to violence is no part of a lawyer's work. Nor is her sanctimonious outrage that a convicted terrorist has been silenced.

Nor is her subsequent sob-story about being a martyr. Two years is generous.
