The sister of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett was the target of a bomb threat at her home earlier this month in Charleston, South Carolina, police said Wednesday.

Charleston police responded on March 10 to a politically charged email threat sent regarding Amanda Coney Williams, according to a police report reviewed by CNN. No bomb was recovered at the home. Williams is also an attorney.

“I’ve constructed a pipe bomb which I recently placed in Amy Coney Barrett’s sister’s mailbox at her home,” the email read. “The device’s detonation will be triggered as soon as the mailbox is next opened. Free Palestine!”

......

Barrett, who President Donald Trump nominated to the high court during his first term, has recently faced criticism from conservative circles for her recent vote in a procedural emergency order that required the president to quickly spend foreign aid money that the administration tried to freeze. There is no indication that threat on Barrett’s sister is tied to that case.

Vote against Trump and we come after your family.

I think the "Free Palestine" was misdirection.

1. Right wing gas lighting

End of story. Just my guess.

[orangecrush]

2. Hopefully it has the opposite of it's intended effect

And instead of frightening her, really pisses her off and lets her know what kind of scum MAGA is.

[Tree Lady]

6. Personally I think justices have more power

than president in some things. They have job for life and don't have to be reelected.

She might just get angry and switch teams unless its a religious issue.

10. i'm with you

it's maga tactics all the way

[tavernier]

8. With all due respect, I can't agree.

On one of her rulings, she went against Trump and now they are going after her family. They just like to do that. Not a mystery.

[Botany]

9. You might very well be right

Although I think if the threat was real the authorities might not have released the
exact wording of the threat.

[ShazzieB]

13. Exactly,

MAGA is pissed at Barrett right now, and this is the kind of thing they do!

[Irish_Dem]

3. Anyone who crosses the MAGAs and Trump will be destroyed.

A terrified populace is a docile, compliant populace.

[orangecrush]

4. That's if

They get terrified and not really, really angry.

[Irish_Dem]

5. Yes we don't know which way Americans will go.

In fascist regimes the populace usually caves.

7. Threats using a Federal mailbox will get you some prison time me thinks. n/t

[HappyLarge]

11. I notice how it's the woman who gets the bomb threats.

It’s not like Justice Kegs and Lurch and Robert’s have never voted in ways MAGA doesn’t like. But I don’t recall their families being threatened.

[LudwigPastorius]

12. One of Trump's freed J6 brownshirts?

[ReRe]

14. I have no doubt it was due to her vote with the lib Justice ladies & Roberts.

Don't tell me they can't trace e-mail addresses. I hope they catch up with Mr smarty pants and make an example out of him.

[usonian]

15. Not if it was from whitehouse.gov

DOJ will have a tough time with that one.

DOJ=Donald's Own Jackboots.

[ReRe]

16. You're right, usonion

Why didn't I think of that? The only way we'll know for sure is if they don't get the guy. I can't get it in my head yet that things don't work the way they should in this country anymore. FBI will probably find him and give him an award. Hell, he'll probably be hired on!

"Donald's Own Jackboots". Now that's good. Is that yours? If so may I use it?
