Half of us assholes on SI could be arrested for implied thoughtcrime if Bushart gets convicted. He doesn't have the means to make bail, and has to sit in jail for at least the 5 weeks before a bond hearing. No way he can fight this all the way to SCROTUS; all the pro bonos already been co-opted by the regime. Double jeopardy, in case some lower court acquits, is child's play after the excessive bail violation. The regime' shysters and ambulance chasers will find a way with the millions of billable hours they have from top law firms.

However, the Court expressed concern over the chilling effect of prosecutions in cases of vague threats: “The speaker’s fear of mistaking whether a statement is a threat; his fear of the legal system getting that judgment wrong; his fear, in any event, of incurring legal costs — all those may lead him to swallow words that are in fact not true threats.”

In prior cases, the Court also adopted a protective stance, requiring more than how words or actions were perceived. In Virginia v. Black (2003), the Court upheld the criminalization of cross burning when the act was intended as a threat: ‘True threats’ encompass those statements
