Jonathan Turley- The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has handed down a significant ruling on the exception to the First Amendment for criminal threats. The court reversed the decision of District Court Judge Charles Breyer, who rejected the charges against Howard Weiss who threatened Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Weiss sent eight anonymous e-mails to the office account of Senator Mitch McConnell in 2018 and 2019. The case involves a series of e-mails sent by Weiss that threatened McConnell, including such messages as this:
If you push this for Friday, the resistance is coming to DC to slash your throat. You will die in the street by DC resistance motherfucker!!!!! You will not live to regret it!!!!!!

What about kathy griffin?
Defund the Congress.
Telling the truth about this gov’t is viewed as a threat so we know where this is going
JETHRO is right!
Mitch the Bitch is married to a Chinese communist. Screw Mitch!
FJB – How did the 60’s hippies put it? “Shut it down.”
This decision proves that the Ninth Circuit views Mitch as a democrap.
This will come to backfire against crazy leftists, if DAs with character are willing to prosecute them.
What was he threatened with, an enema?
The turtle finally got his endangered species status
“… if DAs with character …”
Thas a joke, right?

“True Threats”. Is that like “True Lies”?
Actually, we don’t want Post Turtle Mitch to die. We just want him to quit, go away, leave, stop, go home, retire. Permanently. We’re tired of his Never Trump RINO-ism.
There’s simply no threat there. Implied or otherwise.
Reads like warnings – Bitch McConnell should be glad some one gives a fuck about his safety and is willing to alert him.
But he’s (McConnell) probably a pussy, pissing his pants and hiding under his bed.
No moral courage; no physical courage.
