Sister of Supreme Court Justice Barrett receives bomb threat in South Carolina incident
Here's a refreshed version of the article:
Amanda Coney Williams, Attorney Brother of Supreme Court Justice Amy Cony Barrett, Receives Bomb Threat
In a chilling turn of events, Amanda Coney Williams, an attorney and the sister of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, found herself amidst a Bomb threat earlier this month in her residence in Charleston, South Carolina. The alarming incident unfolded on March 10, as police confirmed a politically-charged email threatening the safety of Williams.
The sinister email, reviewed by CNN, read, "I've constructed a pipe bomb which I recently placed in Amy Coney Barrett's sister's mailbox at her home. The device’s detonation will be triggered as soon as the mailbox is next opened. Free Palestine!" Thankfully, no bomb was found at Williams's home.
Charleston police have launched an ongoing investigation into the matter.
This malicious act comes at a time when federal judges nationwide have reported an escalation in threats and heated political backlash over their rulings.
Justice Barrett, nominated by President Donald Trump during his first term, has lately been criticized by conservative circles due to her recent vote in a procedural emergency order. This order mandated the quick disbursement of foreign aid funds that the administration had attempted to freeze. It's essential to note that the threat on Barrett's sister doesn't appear to be connected to this specific case.
During a public event in Colorado last year, Justice Barrett mentioned receiving a bulletproof vest for home use, but declined to reveal the circumstances surrounding this precaution.
The police report highlights that someone had ordered pizza deliveries to "multiple households associated" with Barrett over the weekend. Some federal judges have received similar pizza deliveries at their homes, a potential form of intimidation as outlined in a recent Reuters report.
A spokeswoman for the Supreme Court chose not to comment on the matter.
Federal judges are reportedly facing a barrage of threats and intimidation as they wade through politically charged cases. Let's hope that justice is served, and incidents like these become a thing of the past.
