Boy, this ruling is quite a coup for the MAGA movement!

Breaking news: Federal prosecutors improperly charged hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants with obstruction, the Supreme Court ruled on Friday, upending many cases against rioters who disrupted the certification of the 2020 presidential election.

Supreme Court says prosecutors improperly charged hundreds of Jan. 6 rioterswww.washingtonpost.com Supreme Court’s decision on obstruction charge will impact trials of hundreds of Jan. 6 rioters and, potentially, former president Donald Trump.

Anyway, if Biden loses the election he has the opportunity to do the funniest thing on January 6, 2025. That would be wild!

Trump pledged to do it again if he loses so it seems like that particular result is pretty much locked in now.

Obstruction? By next week he might also have the right to just straight up murder his opponents with total immunity from prosecution.

And if he wins, he’ll probably get the same “fun.”

Might as well at that point.

It's wrong though. Here's my read, having followed this fight since July 2021. www.emptywheel.net/2024/06/28/s...

Supreme Court Makes 18 USC 1512 a Paperwork Crime, But Does Not Address Corrupt Purpose - emptywheelwww.emptywheel.net In a move that will roil hundreds of January 6 prosecutions, the Supreme Court just required a paperwork nexus for Obstruction prosecutions.

Totally messed up!

Rude

It's hardly surprising given that it's a MAGA SCOTUS.

Don’t you mean autogolpe?
