A Manhattan man is accused of threatening to blow up Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor to help his girlfriend avoid going to federal prison, prosecutors said.

John Zaubler, 48, pleaded not guilty Friday to one count of making terroristic threats.

Zaubler was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court by Judge James Gibbons, via videoconference from the courtroom at Bellevue Hospital where he was being held.

Around 10:39 p.m. on May 30, Zaubler called 911 from an apartment on West 72nd Street and told an operator, "I'm going to kill Judge Sotomayor by blowing her up. I'm going to blow her up. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it because my girlfriend is not going to federal prison," according to assistant district attorney Sharon Applebaum.
