Hal Turner, an occasional talk show host on internet radio and blogger,
was arrested today by the FBI in his New Jersey home on charges he
threatened to murder three federal appeals court judges in Chicago
following their recent ruling upholding handgun bans.

According to the U.S. attorney's office, postings on Turner's web site
included photos of the judges and addresses for them, with statements
such as: "Let me be the first to say this plainly; These judges deserve
to be killed."

The three judges have long served on the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of
Appeals: Frank Easterbrook, the current chief judge; and Richard Posner
and William Bauer.
Turner, 47, was charged with threatening to assault and murder the three
judges with intent to retaliate against them for performing their
official duties. He is to appear in court tomorrow in U.S. District
Court in Newark, N.J., but the charges were brought in Chicago, where
the judges work.

Turner, known for his white supremacist views, has been on the radar of
federal authorities before. In the wake of the murder of the husband and
mother of U.S. District Judge Joan Lefkow in 2005, Turner's web site
carried the courthouse addresses of appeals court judges who had ruled
against white supremacist Matthew Hale in a civil case.
