Authorities say a federal judge in Phoenix has been getting some threats since her ruling on Arizona's controversial immigration law.But remember, the Tea Party folks aren't angry, and this is all about people peacefully simply wanting a law enforced, and the folks behind SB1070 are not an unruly anti-immigrant mob whipped up into a blood frenzy that might be in any way dangerous or anything like that.
David Gonzales, the U.S. Marshal for Arizona, says U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton has received thousands of phone calls and e-mails since her preliminary injunction Wednesday that put key provisions of the state's immigration law on hold.
Gonzales says some of the messages sent to Bolton are positive, but others are "from people venting and who have expressed their displeasure in a perverted way."
Gonzales says his agents are taking some of the threats to Bolton seriously. He refused to discuss any extra security measures, which U.S. marshals routinely provide federal judges.
They're normal law-abiding folks who are, you know, just making threats against a federal judge. Totally law-abiding and not a bunch of scapegoating fanatics.
Right, and I've got some nice oceanfront property in Flagstaff to sell you.
