Lynne Stewart Report – 11-6-11

Second Circuit arguments in Lynne’s case will take place on February 29, 2012.

From Lynne:

“So we finally got a date for oral argument in the Circuit. The date is February 29–Leap year day and Sadie Hawkins Day…Anyway that is our auspicious day . I like it for its quirkiness.

I will NOT be there but that I hope a massive turnout will make up for my absence.”

More information soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNNE!

A message from Lynne, received today:

To my friends and supporters, family, comrades and dear ones;

You cannot know how happy I am to be writing this !!  Not with my circumstances but because after about 6 weeks of trying to get medical relief for a painful bladder infection that seemed to affect the rest of my “Lower Plumbing” as well, I have on a new anti biotic that at first glance seems to be working.

Talk about wan and listless, just like a Jane Austen character, I have basically stayed in my bed and slept–not even reading! I am so sorry about all the letters I haven’t answered particularly those from young people who need to know if they should think about going to law school and those in the thick of the movement who want my insight (from afar!).  I hope I will be regaining my energy soon.  We have cancelled all visits for October to resume in November with an introductory “tryout” of Connor Dueno, my great grandson with his mama and grandmama.  Odds are we’ll be keeping him!

In order that my Prison Readers shouldn’t think that I have mellowed (Ha!) I must say that if Amy is to be trusted the Wall Street occupation looks like it has some legs, whether those legs are reformist or radical, we will see.  I don’t think we can look forward to parading out the Banksters and Goldman Sachs to face “Peoples Justice” just yet But …. There seems to be a spark and that gladdens my Heart.

I will be 72 on the 8th–the day of the Heroic Guerilla, the day they killed Che.  I still hold strongly to my beliefs, my love of the people and that there will be redemption from the nightmare with which, we are all struggling.  So I wish you all a Happy Birthday and Struggle ON!!

Love Lynne
