I have a law degree, ...

Hope you didn't pay for it; if so, you were robbed.
Try the VIII Amendment.

"Excessive bail shall not be required" doesn't begin to address the question of when bail of any amount must be an option for the accused. I read it as meaning that when bail is set at all, it may not be set at levels that only the rich could come up with -- not as requiring bail setting as a matter of course. Obviously we have many cases where bail is denied completely on the basis that the accused is a "flight risk", even if the crime was non-violent (e.g. financial crime); it is also frequently denied for very violent criminals (but then again it often ISN'T). So I don't think the 8th Amendment accounts for the widespread practice of setting bail (often very low, as in this case) for people who are obviously guilty or dangerously insane.

Well, since this guy made terroristic threats and we are in a so-called declared war on terror, I would say he waived his Constitutional rights when he said that "all Americans will die."

And if he was a foreign national, green card or not, he never had any Constitutional protections anyway.

No bail for terrorists!
