2d Circuit upholds Hal Turner's conviction for threatening to kill federal judges
Look, you cannot make threats against federal judges. Not true threats, and even fake threats won't fly, either. In this case, an inflammatory blogger went nuts when the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals declined to incorporate the Second Amendment into the Bill of Rights, which meant that the right to bear arms was not applicable to the states. Hal Turner said the judges deserved to be killed, and his publicized their work addresses online. He said he was serious, and he wrote, "I know how to get it done." He also noted that a federal judge's family in Chicago was murdered in 2005 after he said that she was "worth of death."

The case is U.S. v. Turner, decided on June 21. Hal Turner is a well-known agitator. He was arrested for his blog posts about the Seventh Circuit's Second Amendment decision (which the Supreme Court has since repudiated in holding that that Amendment applies to all municipalities). Turner was tried and convicted in federal court in Brooklyn, and the Court of Appeals affirms, holding that this was not free speech but illegal death threats.

Sure took long enough for this decision to happen. Won't be hearing from Hal for a long long time now, since his parole agreement, if I recall, bans him from the internet and radio for years.
