A Florida man has pleaded guilty in connection with threatening to kill a Supreme Court justice.
The guilty plea from 43-year-old Neal Brij Sidhwaney of Fernandina Beach stemmed from a call he made to a Supreme Court justice in July, the Justice Department said in a news release Monday.
He faces up to five years in federal prison on one count of transmitting an interstate threat. A sentencing date has not yet been set.
Prosecutors said that Sidhwaney identified himself by name in an expletive-infused voicemail and repeatedly threatened to kill the Supreme Court justice, who is not named in court documents.
Sidhwaney warned that if the justice alerted deputy U.S. Marshals, he would talk to them and “come kill you anyway,” according to court documents, which did not indicate what prompted Sidhwaney to make the threat.
Im the last person to approve of SCOTUS. Does that mean I think it’s ever right to call in death threats to like, anyone? Absolutely fucking not. I think it’s truly insane that anyone here is entertaining this. Imagine (well, you don’t really have to) the “other side” doing this shit. It would be reprehensible, just like this bullshit. Hell, for all we know it was a “liberal” justice getting threats and suddenly our opinion on this situation changes? Screw that.
Two wrongs and all that. Eye for an eye… surely there is some simple saying that makes this easy to understand
I guess so, but I’m not seeing a ton of liberal policies that are causing harm to individual lives. I think that’s where you are seeing a “double standard” appear.
It’s not just about the double standard, it’s about right and wrong. If we abandon our morals at the first sign of adversity, then what do we stand for? How can I stand for democracy if I’m okay with the life being snuffed from those who disagree with me. That’s not democracy. There is no room for political violence
