Hawaii judge who blocked travel ban target of threats
Hono Star Ad ^ | March 23, 2017 | Associated Press

The FBI says authorities are aware that the federal judge in Hawaii who ruled against President Donald Trump’s travel ban has received threatening messages.

FBI spokeswoman Michele Ernst said Thursday the agency is aware of reports of threatening messages against U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson and is prepared to help if necessary.

Watson blocked the federal government from enforcing its ban on new visas for people from six mostly Muslim countries and its suspension of the nation’s refugee program. He issued his ruling last week hours before the travel ban was to go into effect.

Hawaii judge who blocked travel ban target of threats

Other than threatening impeachment I can't see the purpose of threats. If you're going to do something, do it. If not keep your mouth shut. Otherwise you just put the target on guard making it harder to accomplish your goal. Or worse still you make it harder for others to accomplish their goals.

A good threat-that —”Maybe he shouldn’t be a judge” the kicker is the follow through —if any... Toleration of Corruption in the Judiciary has a history tracking back to separation and national apathy.Clearly something is ROTTEN in his Court.

Is threatening to drag him to take a remedial course in constitutional law considered a criminal threat?

Hey, U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson, not to worry, if you hear the bank, you’re not the target.

Fear the seething Patriot with a commitment to restoring the Republic, one leftist Republic hating commie at a time.

Yup. I had a great uncle who was a local judge. He was constantly getting threats. One of our biggest fears was that some guy he had sent to prison would get out and make good on one of these threats.

You can say that again. People forget that judges are supposed to decide court cases, not law. How did they get so much power over the other two branches?

Threats are crap from anger wanting the judge to change. A real threat is the silent fatal strike out from “nowhere” not caring if the judge was to change or not.

I’m so very distressed to hear that.

Yeah, that’s right.

Send all un-vetted immigrants to Hawaii, it’s obvious they want them.

Every Federal Judge receives threats.

That is true. They know that before they take the job.
