Guys, Friday has been one of the best days in American history and I am actually tired of all the winning.
Trump wins the debate, Chevron deference is gone, and now SCOTUS has just handed down a huge ruling on January 6th affecting hundreds of Biden's political prisoners??
One of the statutes the Justice Department used to charge hundreds of different January 6th defendants is no good. And that includes President Donald Trump because he has actually had two of these counts against him ...
The Justice Department went gung-ho by charging hundreds of people with "obstruction" for their unscheduled tour of the Capitol on J6, and now SCOTUS has smacked them down.
In a bizarre twist, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was in the majority with the conservative judges, writing her own concurrence, and Justice Barrett sided with the libs.
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of a January 6 protester who entered the Capitol building and was charged with obstructing an official proceeding. Some 350 others who entered the Capitol building that day were also charged under the same law. The case may set a precedent for the various cases against the people who went into the Capitol who were charged under Section 1512(c)(2) of the US code. Chief Justice Roberts delivered the majority opinion.
On Friday, the court ruled in favor of Joseph Fischer, a former police officer from Pennsylvania, saying 'To prove a violation of Section 1512(c)(2), the Government must establish that the defendant impaired the availability or integrity for use in an official proceeding of records, documents, objects, or as we earlier explained, other things used in the proceeding, or attempted to do so. See supra, at 9. The judgment of the D. C. Circuit is therefore vacated, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. On remand, the D. C. Circuit may assess the sufficiency of Count Three of Fischer's indictment in light of our interpretation of Section 1512(c)(2).'
The overreach of Biden's DoJ is being successfully buffeted by the Supreme Court.
What a day for America!
