Supreme Court casts doubt on obstruction charges against hundreds of Jan. 6 rioters
...
The Supreme Court cast doubt Tuesday on the legality of obstruction charges lodged against some 300 rioters arrested for breaking into the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
...
While the court's three liberals appeared to agree with prosecutors that law can be read broadly, the six conservatives sounded skeptical.
A ruling that limits the obstruction law could also undercut the prosecution of former President Trump. Two of the four criminal charges against him are based on the obstruction law.

Who are these conservative justices bluffing? When it suits their Trumpian agenda, they call themselves "textualists" who decide cases based on the words of the laws. However, while ruling on Trump's disqualification from the ballot in Colorado, why didn't they stick to the text of Section 3 of 14th Amendment that clearly forbids an insurrectionist like Trump from running for office: "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same..." These justices are a disgrace for undermining the integrity of SCOTUS. Shame on them!

Can you imagine? If January 6th had been perpetuated by black people? The minions would be singing a different tune. They truly believe they can do ANYTHING they want because most are white.

This corrupt, conservative majority will do anything to help TheRump and the MAGA insurrectionists. Whether we sit here and allow it to happen is up to us.
