"Civil rights" attorney Lynne Stewart has been convicted of giving "material support to terrorists" among other assorted charges. Stewart was the lawyer for the blind sheik convicted of plotting to assassinate Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, among other things.

It's always helpful when someone who once had a modicum of respect and prestige does something so outrageous that it allows you to more definitively identify their particular type of ... moonbat. Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark -- the man who was once America's top law enforcement officer -- has joined Saddam Hussein's legal […]

The Los Angeles Times editorial page should maybe run some of their stuff past a real lawyer. How embarrassing.

Berkeley failing to educate its students is nothing new. There are two top-tier architecture programs in California: […]
The Los Angeles County Supervisors, a cowardly, spineless group has decided to cave to the Anti-Christian Liberals Union. Los Angeles County supervisors on Tuesday ended an emotional debate over the symbolism of the tiny gold cross on the county seal by deciding to remove it rather than defend it against a threatened ACLU lawsuit.
