This is not a full review. This is just a comment. Others may review this article.
Consider quoting the text of the law. Very detailed information is given about things related to the law but the law is not described well. Suomi Finland 2009 ( talk) 18:50, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
It depends how long the law is. If short, consider showing it. How about a brainstorming idea? Have a sub-article with the entire text of the law? Suomi Finland 2009 ( talk) 15:55, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Whatever is in this section won't count against the GAN but will serve as reminders for future article improvement as well as style-related protips.
Still reviewing, but consider it on hold pending the above improvements. I've still yet to comb over the prose in more detail for any style/grammar problems, and I still need to check the sources. –

Review is now completed, and the GAN is now on hold pending the improvements suggested above. Let me know if you have any other questions, and if I made any mistakes, don't be afraid to point them out and correct them. Also note the additional issues I have noted in all the above sections. – MuZemike 23:15, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

The Penalties section contradicts itself, in the second sentance it claims: "The offense is punishable by five to ten years in prison", but in the last entance it claims: "The maximum penalty for threatening a United States judge or a Federal law enforcement officer is 10 years imprisonment — double the maximum penalty for threatening the President" 82.24.244.35 ( talk) 00:38, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
@ MuZemike: I want to get your imput on this: the article says this crime is a class D felony which is more than 5 but less than 10 years, but the source says it is punishable by not more than 5 years and I looked at this table and is says "less than 5 years" in the Class E felony row of this table. Another editor sent me this news article and this news article says its a Class D felony, which is more than 5 but less than 10 years, which is a higher class of felonies (Class D). I am confused as to which one is correct because they show conflicting info; is it Class D or E? Can I get some imput please? I want to make sure this is accurate. If not, I'm going to have to find a way to balance it. Sam.gov ( talk) 05:43, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
Is it class E or class D?
This is why I put the contradict tag. WhisperToMe ( talk) 20:08, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
@ WhisperToMe: That is what I'm trying to figure out myself as well. Sam.gov ( talk) 00:37, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
@ Sam.gov:I believe it is clearly a class E felony. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/USCODE-2011-title18/html/USCODE-2011-title18-partI-chap41-sec871.htm Punishment: "...shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both." https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/3559 Matching it up to a felony class: "(5) less than five years but more than one year, as a Class E felony;" Mcsteez ( talk) 22:50, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
