How Should the Courts Respond to Trump's Promise of a "Bloodbath"?

Justice Matters with Glenn Kirschner

Donald Trump is on pretrial release in four felony cases. In the past - he's used inflammatory rhetoric to inspire and incite an attack on the US Capitol on January 6th to try to retain power. Now, Trump has ratcheted up his violent rhetoric, promising a "bloodbath" if he is not reelected. In the criminal justice system, the law provides that if someone on pretrial release poses a danger to even a single person in the community, they should be revoked on release and detained pending trial. Trump is signaling to his supporters that he expects them to respond with violence if he loses. Will prosecutors, the courts, and the institutions of government receive Trump's latest violent rhetoric with a shrug? Or will they protect the American people by applying the law as it is intended to be applied and detain him pending trial?
