SCOTUS Limits Jan 6 Charges

January 6, 2021, the so called "Insurrection".  We are sick of this, aren't we?  The Democrats encouraged riots all during 2020 and the liberal DA's in those cities let those responsible free, also favored by Democrats.

But God Dammit if conservatives have a mostly peaceful protest at Washington D.C. where FBI plants encouraged and performed damage.  And the FBI used all the cameras and the best facial recognition software the .gov can buy to hunt down and arrest almost every single person that entered the Capitol building that day, including an old great-grandma.

"Washington — The Supreme Court on Friday ruled in favor of a former Pennsylvania police officer who was charged with obstructing an official proceeding after he entered the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, and narrowed the Justice Department's use of a federal obstruction statute leveled against scores of people who breached the building where Congress had convened to count state electoral votes. 

"The Supreme Court's decision could affect the ongoing prosecutions of nearly 250 defendants charged with obstruction for their participation in the Jan. 6 assault. It could also upend cases that have already been adjudicated, since those who were convicted of violating the obstruction statute or pleaded guilty could seek resentencing, withdraw their pleas or ask for new trials. There are 52 cases in which a defendant was convicted and sentenced on charges where the obstruction count was the sole felony, and of those, 27 are currently incarcerated, according to the Justice Department. "
