Authorities came to the home of Justice Arthur F. Engoron on the day he was set to hear closing arguments in New York’s suit against Donald Trump. The former president had attacked him on social media.
Fuck, I just hope he suddenly shits out his own intestines and deflates into a soupy pile of lard and makeup. Now would be nice, but I'll take next week, if not.
I don't think SCOTUS has jurisdiction over this trial anyway. Especially since it's now in the penalty phase, something Trump apparently hasn't grasped yet, which is why he wanted to give closing arguments.
And that's because a lot of them were appointed by trump because the Senate Republicans under Obama in his last term (when they got control of the Senate) held those seats open until the next Republican president was elected
But these people are also very self-serving. They will look out for their own class, which is judges in this case. Even if they think that this particular judge is horrible, they will definitely back taking action to protect judges in general.
There has been evidence of this, especially during the police protests a couple years ago. There has also been a great deal of cleanup performed here. I don't think it's probably as bad or common as you fear, but I fully understand why you feel that way.
Because in some cases they are coming from out of the country and in other cases the call has been made via VOIP behind multiple proxies and a VPN and is basically untraceable.
In either case, nothing is going to happen in the same week that the crime occurred. It will take that long to investigate & determine if they can even issue a warrant.
You can pay a guy in another country to call in bomb threats using an untraceable VoIP number. It could reverb be a foreign adversary doing it just to stir the pot.
Same reason we get so many spam calls and the phone companies won't do anything about it. It could also be the CIA trying to get more privacy invading laws passed by stirring the pot.
Nothing is untraceable, just difficult to trace. There are logs in all the points bounced between and you can follow the trail back if you find the right bit of metadata. In the case of the spam calls, the FCC is working on it, but it's not as dire a thing as trying to kill a judge, so not too much attention is paid to any specific instance of a spam call.
If they remain anonymous, then no. If any identifying information can be found, they will bring down the Hammer of Thor. This is one of those things that basically all government types will get behind regardless of political views.
