The U.S. Secret Service has "met extensively" with Lin Wood about his comments, including the tweet where he called for Pence to be executed, he said on a Mercer University School of Law conference call. I've listened to the audio.
Lin Wood joined a call about whether Mercer University should rename a courtroom bearing his name. The law school's dean, not realizing Wood was on the call, spoke very candidly and said she's worried about his "violent" tweets. He got upset at her, and a student. Some excerpts:
Here's Lin Wood fighting with a law student over whether a courtroom should still named after him. It's really something.
A law student criticized Lin Wood for his violent rhetoric about VP Pence. Lin Wood responded by namedropping MLK. He also said he's met extensively with Secret Service.

Wow: "This lawsuit smacks of racism," a Wisconsin judge just said to Trump's lawyer. She says Trump targeted two counties for litigation "because of their diverse populations, because they are urban, and because they vote Democratic."
Judge Jill Karofsky: "In your lawsuit what you have done here is target the vote of 250,000 pple — not statewide, but in two of our 72 counties that have diverse populations, because they are urban, and because they vote Democratic. This lawsuit, Mr. Troupis, smacks of racism."
"This not normal," the justice continued. "It is not normal for us to be sitting here 48 hours before the Electoral College sits. It is not normal for only two out of 72 counties to be at risk of losing their voice in this election."

Wait a sec, Lin Wood just filed an amicus brief that asks SCOTUS to grant his attached cert petition !!??
An amicus brief is for saying "I'm not a party to this case but I'll explain why you should take it."
Lin Wood tacked on a request for the justices to hear his separate case. That's not a thing. Unless he's playing 3D chess and we've all been doing it wrong...
Link to Lin Wood's filing below. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/2…
