Supreme Court hears arguments on obstruction law used against Trump, Jan. 6 rioters

The Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday in Fischer v. U.S, a case considering the extent of a federal obstruction law that is being used to prosecute defendants who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Prosecutors are also using the law against former President Donald Trump.

The Supreme Court should not be about liberals or conservative it should be about we the people

[dannylyles]

Why can't voters file lawsuits against politicians ignoring the needs of the citizens?

[RobinS]

It's quite simple. Quit trying to blend two different laws together to create a guilty. Read the blatant English of the language that is the problem with our judicial system from top to bottom from a prosecution's viewpoint and the defenses viewpoint is there to always trying to read into these laws, not just what the text says

[THEEJuror]

Listening to SCOTUS argue to empower the government vs empower the private citizen is disheartening

[TheJhndarwin]

Justice is truly blind. Blind To The Truth

[brendas]

The Supreme Court uses the word otherwise. Let's be real this case needs to be heard based on our democracy not on words.

[TheRunAndGun]

I listened to over an hour and the court seems very skeptical of the government’s arguments. As they should be. Very funny to hear the government differentiate past “mostly peaceful protest” vs what people are doing hard time for.

Let's talk about documents that were stolen from our country

[brendas]

Trump does not care about anyone but Trump for the first time in his life he's been held accountable we the people need to hold him accountable and all of his followers

[jackwong]

What about BLM riot? What happened to those people? In jail, or free from charge?

[mikealexander]

Oh no. The walls are closing in again🙄

[carriematynka]

How come NO ONE is talking about the word “OR, ” at the end of C1 BEFORE “otherwise” on

[sabrinamondy]

Let's just pretend that you're a real judge yeah Justice Thomas is a real good example of illegal tampering

[Master_of_sum]

The solicitor is very talented, but, this has a built in fallacy. She argues both that the clause is so broad it can be interpreted for Jan 6 defendants, but, so narrow that it’s never been used before in this manner. An obvious case of political prosecution.

We've all seen the videos from the guided tour of the people's

[dannylyles]

You Just Can't Make This 💩 Up"!
We have outgrown this form of government!
We need a Government Of The People, By the people and for the people !
How can voters hold politicians accountable while in office? Why aren't politicians required to undergo performance evaluations?

[michaelwachendorf]

When you don't recuse yourself from your wife's hearing in her involvement of Jan 6th. Thomas you have 0 honor none. You should be removed disbarred.

[solarliving]

Why wasn't Ray Epps charged with 1512c2?

[freerangegirl]

I just tuned in to watch the corrupt supreme court reality tv show.

[sabrinamondy]

What about the People's first amendment rights to have a president that isn't a criminal along with some judges who get paid off
