#1 Yeah, poor Leonie. Had the sentencing decision yanked from her hands. Excellent. Her hissy fit rather clearly indicates she's got issues with reality. The charge of "soliciting others to levy war against the United States" deserves a thorough ass-kicking. Bite me, Leonie. Hell, bite us all, cow.

#2 PD it deserves a short drop from a noose. Sedition and giving aid and comfort should qualify him for that.

#3 Al-Timmy is correct that he is going to the slammer for his Islamic beliefs; much in the same way we proscute murderers for their belief that it's ok to kill people.

As for poor lil' Judge Leonie, put a check next to my name in the Bite Me column, too.

#5 They said he did nothing more than advise the young men to seek out a nation where they could practice Islam in safety. That says it all. They can't kill innocent people in safety here in the US so he advised them to go elswhere and kill innocent people.

#6 Actually, she wasn't fully bound by those guidelines. They were overturned by the Supreme Court this last term. But if she wants to hide behind them so she could give Al-Timimi a life sentence, it's fine with me.

#7 EJ - Interesting - I heard it reported by Fox and CNN that one of the charges (the one I noted, I believe) carried a mandatory life sentence - and her reaction certainly lends credence to those reports. Can you cite?

#8 Actually, the life sentence was not for treason. It was for a firearms violation. From the text, I believe that it's 18 USC §§ 924(c) . That section says (in part)

In the case of his second or subsequent conviction under this subsection, such person shall be sentenced to imprisonment for twenty years, and if the firearm is a machinegun, or a destructive device, or is equipped with a firearm silencer or firearm muffler, to life imprisonment without release. (FOOTNOTE 1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the court shall not place on probation or suspend the sentence of any person convicted of a violation of this subsection
