The Supreme Court is right now in the thick of a heated debate over a federal obstruction statute that’s been used to go after hundreds of January 6th political prisoners. This isn’t just any legal tussle—it has massive implications for these punished patriots and also for the election interference case against President Trump.
Everyone’s watching closely.
The case at the heart of all this is Fischer v. United States. The big question is: Can federal prosecutors use a law created after the Enron scandal to punish the January 6 defendants? This law makes it a crime to “corruptly” obstruct or impede an official proceeding. But defense attorneys are pushing back hard. They argue that the DOJ is using this law as a “dragnet” to catch and punish those who disagree with the current regime. Before January 6, this statute wasn’t even on the radar unless there was some level of evidence-tampering involved. But now, it seems like it’s being used to silence anyone who goes against the Biden regime, unfairly targeting over 350 J6 defendants. It’s yet another disgusting example of how legal powers can be twisted to clamp down on dissent and make an example out of those who stand up to the powers that be.
It’s anybody’s guess how the justices will swing on this one, especially in today’s supercharged political climate. Yet, Justice Gorsuch is already tearing into Biden’s DOJ, which seems set on painting their protesters as the only ones who “protest the right way.” Gorsuch isn’t buying any of that twisted logic.
Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch nukes Joe Biden’s DOJ over January 6th sentences:
Gorsuch lists multiple cases of folks who “obstructed a Congressional proceeding” without receiving a 20 year sentence.
1. Sit-ins at a trial (Kavanaugh protests)
2. Pulling a fire alarm (Rep. Bowman)
3. Hecklers in the crowd (Palestine)
4. Mostly-peaceful protests (BLM)…
