John Zaubler Charged With Threatening To Kill Sotomayor

[sarah553807]

A Manhattan man who threatened to kill U.S. Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor and said he wanted to kill President Barack Obama has been arraigned on charges of making a terroristic threat.

A criminal complaint says 48-year-old John Zaubler called 911 Saturday and said he was going to kill Sotomayor by "blowing her up" because he did not want his girlfriend to go to federal prison.

The complaint also says he wanted to kill Obama by "blowing him up."

Zaubler did not enter a plea in Manhattan Criminal Court.

Judge James Gibbons ordered Zaubler held without bail and ordered a psychiatric examination. He scheduled a hearing for July 6.

Zaubler's lawyer, Fran Hoffinger, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
