Supreme Court Hears Huge Case About Government's Expansive Reading of the Law; Have Claimed That Hundreds of J6 Protesters, and Trump Himself, Broke Law by "Obstructing" Counting of VotesAnother made-up Trump Only legal doctrine. Conservatives appear "skeptical" of the government's claim that this law -- which forbids the destruction or alteration of official documents -- can be stretched and twisted to cover protesters objecting to a rigged election. ]The Supreme Court's conservative majority appeared skeptical of the Justice Department's position during oral arguments over whether a federal obstruction law can be used to prosecute some of the rioters involved in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. This is CNN, of course. Obviously the J6 lawyers did not claim "we're innocent because this was just an insurrection." That's CNN's lying spin. Check out this CNN spin-- it's sad that this is a "technical," dispassionate argument about what the law is, instead of a Pageantry of Bloody Shirts and Hurt Feelings like the J6 committee put on:
LOL. Pointing out that the law has only been mutilated to charge The Regime's enemies, while its own street paramilitaries are spared, protected, and even paid off by friendly regime governments, is "whataboutism." Justice Samuel Alito mentioned the disruptions at the Golden Gate Bridge on Monday, when protesters, angry about Israel's war against Hamas, blocked rush-hour traffic. In other words, she was asking if the government can charge someone who had not committed any crime with "obstructing an act of government" if their lawful protests nevertheless cause the delivery of state election certifications. This is a question that is asking, basically, "Aren't you just criminalizing dissent?"
Gorsuch wanted to know if the government held the position that, if protesters protesting the treatment of the J6 protesters felt "flustered" and thus impaired in their ability to make their case, they too could be charged under the Regime's expansive "obstruction" reading.
..
One past Supreme Court case that the Justice Department must contend with, as it tries to sway the justices to sign off on the use of the obstruction charge for January 6 rioters, is a precedent sometimes referred to as "the fish case." Even Roberts appeared skeptical of the government stealing bases to mean whatever they need it to mean: But Roberts focused on another way of the reading the law, as influenced by the words before it. And in this case, those words deal with evidence tampering -- not riots. What he's talking about one part of the law specifying that it's criminalizing the destruction or alteration of documents, and another clause speaking more broadly of "otherwise" obstructing the production of documents. He's saying you can't just split the broader-sounding clause off from the other clause -- the first clause announces that this law is about shredding documents. You can't take that "otherwise" to mean the law can be mutated to take any form a Democrat prosecutor wants it to mean.
Justice Clarence Thomas quizzed the lawyer representing the Justice Department about whether the government has ever used the law this way before. What crazies some conservatives are. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar said that the Justice Department has consistently applied the law beyond evidence tampering but seemed to acknowledge there was a direct parallel to another case. She may claim that, but from what I can tell, she offered not a single example of the law being applied to a riot. Update: My favorite part of the questioning was Gorsuch asking if pulling a fire alarm to interrupt congressional action was also covered and could result in up to 20 years in prison?
