Democrats are having an absolute meltdown right now over a recent Supreme Court ruling.
The funny thing about this is that Biden’s justice ruled with conservatives while one of the Trump appointees, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, ruled with the other two conservative justices.
The Fischer v. United States case will not only downgrade charges to hundreds of J6 defendants but also complicate Special Counsel Jack Smith’s case against Trump.
A Bit Overreaching
In his majority opinion, Justice Roberts wrote, “To prove a violation of Section 1512(c)(2), the Government must establish that the defendant impaired the availability or integrity for use in an official proceeding of records, documents, objects, or as we earlier explained, other things used in the proceeding, or attempted to do so.
“The judgment of the D. C. Circuit is therefore vacated, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”
He continued, “The Government’s reading of Section 1512 would intrude on that deliberate arrangement of constitutional authority over federal crimes, giving prosecutors broad discretion to seek a 20-year maximum sentence for acts Congress saw fit to punish only with far shorter terms of imprisonment—for example, three years for harassment under §1512(d)(1), or ten years for threatening a juror under §1503.”
Barrett, who wrote the dissenting opinion, argued, “There is no getting around it: Section 1512(c)(2) is an expansive statute. Yet Congress, not this Court, weighs the ‘pros and cons of whether a statute should sweep broadly or narrowly.’”
This ruling has effectively downgraded insurrection charges to trespassing, which is going to drive Democrats insane.
In fact, it already has, as Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is already railing about the rogue “MAGA Court.”
Notice he sat on his hands when the court overwhelmingly voted in favor of Biden’s censorship.
It wasn’t a MAGA court then, was it?
