DOJ spanked on J6 "Obstruction" charge
« on: June 28, 2024, 11:09:39 AM »
SCOTUES rules in favor J6 "rioter" charged with obstruction by DOJ.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/supreme-court-rules-favor-jan-6-capitol-riot-participant-challenged-obstruction-conviction

Article is short on details, but I'm reading into it that SCOTUS essentially told the DOJ, ..."just because you want it to be obstruction does not make it so unless actions objectively meet certain criteria". Hopefully, one of our more SCOTUS-interested members will have more details and a better analysis.

So were they pretty much charging anyone who didn't admit to their and other people's "crimes" with obstruction?

That was the add on they were using to make them all felonies.

Sometimes we carry more weight then we owe.
And sometimes goes on and on and on.
