"These judges deserve to be killed.”

In his posting, Turner wrote “Let me be the first to say this plainly: These judges deserve to be killed.”

That statement alone might not be enough to cross the line established by the Supreme Court in 1969 in Brandenburg v. Ohio as advocating imminent violence. Violent speech is protected under the Constitution absent such a threat of imminent violence.

Well that's a relief.
