PHOENIX — Authorities say a federal judge in Phoenix has been getting some threats since her ruling on Arizona's controversial immigration law.
David Gonzales, the U.S. Marshal for Arizona, says U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton has received thousands of phone calls and e-mails since her preliminary injunction Wednesday that put key provisions of the state's immigration law on hold.
...messages sent to Bolton are "from people venting and who have expressed their displeasure in a perverted way."
Gonzales says his agents are taking some of the threats to Bolton seriously. He refused to discuss any extra security measures, which U.S. marshals routinely provide fed
Take the high road, people. At least until it’s played out in the courts.
oh, TFB. Lucky they haven’t tarred and feathered her yet.
The natives are getting restless out here.
I would sooner think she needs to worry about the other side. It would be quite a piece of propaganda that could be blamed on the tea party and other conservatives should the left decide to sacrifice her to the cause.
I in no way advocate violence against this judge, but this bitch didn’t give a flying fig about the violence being committed against the citizens of Arizona did she.
Hey judge, how do you like getting the same treatment your fellow citizens have gotten for decades? Inquiring minds want to know. Will marshals be hired to protect them too?
Thought not...
I have little sympathy for this asshole.
they won’t listen to us until they are more afaid of us that they are of them
The MSM didn’t make this big of a deal when Bush received death threats.
Well I assume they traced them back.
Let’s see who it was. Either way, lock them up.
I have a feeling it’s leftists... they’re good at reverse psy-ops.
Please. I bet you dollar to donuts there was no threat against her. This is a ploy to percieve us as hostile and threatening. So obvious.
They were happy about it.
Everybody get death threats these days when they are in the media over something controversial. It goes with the territory. Such is America in 2010.
Thousands?
The American private sector has been financially gang raped and beat like a drum by this punitive, all controlling, dictatorial government....I can't imagine why they're getting angry....
I smell fake hate crimes.

Hmmm...the AP. That tells me all I need to know. It's clearly leftist propaganda.
It wasn’t that long ago that tyrants feared for their personal safety. They should.
Did the “news” happen to mention the million dollar contract that the mexican drug cartels took out on Joe Arpiao??????

Hate mail, threats flood Arizona judge’s office
U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton received hundreds of threats at her court offices within hours of her ruling on Arizona’s tough and controversial immigration law.
“She has been inundated,” said U.S. Marshal David Gonzales, indicating his agents are taking some seriously. “About 99.9 percent of the inappropriate comments are people venting. They are exercising their First Amendment rights
and a lot of it is perverted. But it’s that 0.1 percent that goes over the line that we are taking extra seriously.”
