ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A federal appeals court on Wednesday affirmed the conviction of the leader of an Illinois antigovernment militia who was sentenced to 53 years in prison for masterminding the 2017 bombing of a Minnesota mosque, an attack that terrified the local Muslim community.

A three-judge panel rejected all the legal arguments raised by Emily Claire Hari. Her attorneys argued that the key federal law involved — which pertains to damaging religious property and the free exercise of religion — was invalid because it exceeded Congress’ authority.

The court also rejected Hari’s claim that prosecutors violated attorney-client privilege when authorities seized two pages of notes from Hari’s cell during a shakedown.
==============================================
Hope she has a good time in the lockup for 53 years. First female terrorist I've run into.

Consider the source. :rolleyes:

There is no such thing as an "antigovernment militia." Militias are defined by, and answerable to, government.
 
Illinois Nazis.
