    What about threats that are clearly non actionable? Like dropping a safe onto someone so they're flattened into a perfectly round oversize pancake?

      The problem is that you'd still have to defend that this is non actionable in court, which against a politician? Good luck. "I will de-limb Politician by summoning space aliens with giant laser swords made from Alpha Centauri Moonrocks until Politician dies" wouldn't even be ridiculous enough if the judge and the politician are somehow in cahoots.

        I have been talking about repealing the Hague Invasion Act which goes at all the worst ones while being entirely legalistic and therefore protected, yet still a distinct possibility for every government official in their 40's or 50's

        Knowing the US, the judge will just institutionalize you then make you pay the bills despite being locked away from any kind of job
