Supreme Court Justice Reveals Death Threats

By GINA HOLLAND, AP



WASHINGTON (March 15) - Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she and former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor have been the targets of death threats from the "irrational fringe" of society, people apparently spurred by Republican criticism of the high court.

2. Some of that "irrational fringe" is paid big bucks by corporate media
Conservative commentator Ann Coulter joked earlier this year that Justice John Paul Stevens should be poisoned. Over the past few months O'Connor has complained that criticism, mainly by Republicans, has threatened judicial independence to deal with difficult issues like gay marriage.

4. Those "pundits" should be held accountable for inciting the actions of the
wingnuts should something (God forbid) happen.

6. Right wing terrorism
that's what it should be called. Is there any great search to find out who did this or because they are on the right will they be allowed to continue their brand of terrorism? Doesn't the FBI have a file on people like this or do they only follow Quakers and anti war protestors?

(rhetorical questions, I think we all know the answers!)
