i sometimes wonder if these old guys making the threats are motivated more by their inherent hatred or by the desire to be assured a roof over their heads, 3 meals a day and free medical attention in their dotage
22 charges, 9 were threats against a judge and 13 for making threats in interstate commerceAn Alaska man has been arrested after allegedly threatening to torture and assassinate six Supreme Court justices and their relatives, the Justice Department announced Thursday.
Panos Anastasiou, 76, allegedly sent more than 465 messages through the Supreme Court’s public website — many of them violent, racist and homophobic, according to an indictment filed Wednesday.
“We allege that the defendant made repeated, heinous threats to murder and torture Supreme Court Justices and their families to retaliate against them for decisions he disagreed with,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement announcing the charges. “Our justice system depends on the ability of judges to make their decisions based on the law, and not on fear. Our democracy depends on the ability of public officials to do their jobs without fearing for their lives or the safety of their families.”
