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.
The system is constantly changing. We have the power and tools to effect change, despite the recent backsliding. SCOTUS is corrupt, yes, but we should be trying to change it, not making fucking deranged phone calls threatening people’s lives
Bunch of astroturfing trying to make not calling in death threats seem like you’re part of the problem. The left is smarter than the bullshit being spread in this thread.
That’s quite literally what no one in this thread is arguing.
Lol says the person “explaining” to no one asking for an explanation about why people may want to kill supreme court justices.
Amazing how people can make sober assessments without whacking at inane, strawmen caricatures. You should try it sometime.
It’s ok, I think everyone understands what you’re saying, no need to try and take me down out of nowhere :) makes it look like what I’m saying is somehow directed at you. Edit: I mean does anyone even believe this guy? Guys other posts are saying that death threats to supreme court justices is a “logical conclusion.” Talk about transparent…
“Frankly, it was only a matter of time before desperate citizens followed that train of thought through to its logical conclusion.”
Edit 2: oh dear, who’s post got removed for instigating violence?
I don’t disagree. I also think there are many women across the country whose lives are literally at risk this very moment who might not take much solace in the incremental pace of change. I’m not excusing violence, I’m simply explaining it. It’s wrong, but so is a lot of the bullshit SCOTUS is currently doing, so to many people the idea of “right” and “wrong” simply doesn’t compute the same way as it does with you and me.
