A Florida man has pleaded guilty in connection with threatening to kill a Supreme Court justice.

The guilty plea from 43-year-old Neal Brij Sidhwaney of Fernandina Beach stemmed from a call he made to a Supreme Court justice in July, the Justice Department said in a news release Monday.

He faces up to five years in federal prison on one count of transmitting an interstate threat. A sentencing date has not yet been set.

Prosecutors said that Sidhwaney identified himself by name in an expletive-infused voicemail and repeatedly threatened to kill the Supreme Court justice, who is not named in court documents.

Sidhwaney warned that if the justice alerted deputy U.S. Marshals, he would talk to them and “come kill you anyway,” according to court documents, which did not indicate what prompted Sidhwaney to make the threat.

      You know that “fallacy” doesn’t have to refer to a specific, logical fallacy, right? Now you’re insulting my intelligence when I’m replying in earnest? You neglected to read past the first sentence of my comment, invoked Hitler, and are still defending the actions of a crazed individual who is calling in death threats to SCOTUS. Not only that, but you have laser focused on specific words in my comments, insulted me, and never even addressed the actual point. Ironic considering you’re touting yourself to be the fallacy expert. Have a nice day and try not to call in any perfectly justified death threats!
