The National Lawyers Guild is a well known commie organization.

Stewart was under indictment at the time and used the National Lawyers Guild forum to decry then Attorney General John Ashcroft for having the temerity to indict her for transmitting secret instructions from Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman (“the blind sheikh”) to his terrorist minions in Egypt.

the Guild had moved seamlessly from defending America’s Communist enemies to defending America’s terrorist enemies. The common denominator between the Communist Manifesto and Sharia law is not apparent in theory; only in practice does raw hatred of the United States reveal itself as the glue joining the Guild with its latter day devotion to holy terrorists.

the weird convergence between radical Islam and the radical left, united in their hatred of the United States.

Although disbarred as a result of her conviction, Stewart was invited to address a legal ethics conference at Hofstra Law School in the fall of 2007. According to Hofstra’s Web site, conference speakers were expected to discuss “prosecutorial abuse, the challenges of representing prisoners at Guantanamo and attacks on lawyers who represent unpopular clients and causes.” Walter Olson previewed the conference in “Over the edge.” According to a New York Times report on the conference summarized here, Stewart admitted to having been “cavalier” in the way she followed certain regulations governing communications with her client, but argued that the human bond between a lawyer and client is critical to the lawyer’s role as legal adviser. Said Stewart: “I was representing a client, and I would do it again, but I would do it in a way that would better insulate me.” Her main regret, she reportedly said, was that she was unaware the government was secretly taping her conversations with her client. (More on her appearance at the conference is posted here.) As I say, Stewart is a hard case.

1,000's Of Illegal Aliens Show Up At DMV Offices To Obtain Driver Authorization Cards .............................................................................................................................. January 2, 2014 lasvegas.cbslocal.com Department of Motor Vehicles (Photo Credit: Nevada DMV) Related Tags: DMV, Driver Privilege Card, Nevada DMV Tate South Email Tate at tate.south@cbsradio.com Read More LAS VEGAS (AP) — Thousands of Nevada immigrants showed up at Department of Motor Vehicle offices Thursday to obtain driver authorization cards under a new law that made the state the 11th nationally to offer driving privileges to people in the country illegally. In Las Vegas, long lines began forming before the doors opened at 8 a.m. By noon, wait times at the city’s two busiest offices were two hours or longer. But the mood was more jovial than other agonizingly long DMV waits given the excitement on the part of immigrants who are now able legally drive to work. Fausto Garcia, 51, was among those at the DMV office in North Las Vegas. Garcia, who is from Mexico, said he wanted to get a card as soon as possible. He’s been living in Las Vegas for eight years, and driving illegally to his job as a dishwasher. “It’s necessary to drive and I’ve always been careful,” he said. A law passed by the 2013 Legislature and signed by Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval allows immigrants in Nevada without citizenship status to obtain driver privilege cards. An increasing number of states have been passing similar laws in recent years, and 11 states and the District of Columbia have enacted such measures. During a bill-signing ceremony in May, Sandoval — Nevada’s first Hispanic governor — called the measure one of the most meaningful pieces of legislation he has enacted. Backers of the bill say since many immigrants in the country illegally drive anyway, the law will make roads safer because they will required to take a test and have insurance. By early afternoon, DMV officials had stopped applications because of wait times and a backlog of people waiting to take the written exam, said Nevada Senate Majority Leader Mo Denis, a prime sponsor of the law who stopped by one DMV office to see how things were going and ended up staying for hours. “They had 150 people waiting to take the test so they cut it off for now,” Denis said. “I don’t think they can get through all of them at this point today.” There was some confusion. Not everyone had all their paperwork and had to be turned away. Others didn’t realize that once they paid their fees they had to take the test the same day. The law specifically prohibits the DMV from using or sharing information for immigration-enforcement purposes. Authorization cards are good for one year and cannot be used for official identification to board commercial flights or enter federal government buildings. To obtain a card, immigrants must still show proof of identity as well as Nevada residency. Any documents in a foreign language such as a birth certificate must be translated, and the DMV has a list of about 160 translators posted on its website. Latinos make up about a quarter of Nevada’s residents. In less congested northern Nevada, lines began forming early but were nothing compared with the throngs seen in the south. “I was at Reno this morning and there were people waiting outside the doors hours before we opened,” said DMV spokesman David Fierro. Through midday the waiting time for service in both Reno and Carson City was about a half hour.
