See, now, I thought that things been clarified after Groucho Marx won against the FBI when they went after him for saying "I think the only hope this country has is Nixon's assassination." A Federal attorney ruled that there was a difference between "the leader of an organization which advocates killing people and overthrowing the government" making such a threat, and any other random person. Ultimately they ruled that Groucho's quip was not a "true threat".

Not challenging you, I'm just curious about the paper trail on this specific issue now, because I thought the line between "person who can potentially actually do something about a threat" and "random harmless yutz on the internet" was clearer.
