I hope no clear thinking reader herein swallows the kool aid that somehow the ninth circuit is all left wing whacked out. I suggest reading the whole opinion. It makes it harder to be punished for mere words, and that is a very good thing.
Some jerk reports this guy to the SS and the game is on. It's a very slippery slope when we start punishing people for stuff I see on Internet comments almost on a daily basis.

They are called the 9th Circus for a reason. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I pout threateningly quite often. It depends upon my mood.

The 9th Circus? I’m just surprised this case did not involve a threat to W.

Hypothetical talk really should not count as a threat, although it might be a reason to investigate the talker.
