    SCOTUS Mic Drop On Obstructing A Congressional Proceeding and the selective enforcement against Trump and Trump's supporters

    'Would Pulling a Fire Alarm Before a Vote Qualify?'

    The Majority of the Supreme Court seemed quite skeptical of Lying Jack's application of the law against Trump and the convictions obtained by crooked DC prosecutors, corrupt judges and biased Courts.

    The Corrupt 'federal prosecutors have deployed a felony charge devised in the aftermath of the 20-year-old Enron financial scandal against about 350 rioters convicted or accused of storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.'

    What would qualify as "obstructing a proceeding" the Court asked the Crooked Prosecutors:

    '“Would a heckler in today’s audience qualify, or at the State of the Union address? Would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify, and for 20 years in prison?” Justice Neil Gorsuch asked, citing the maximum sentence available under the obstruction provision. He appeared to refer to an episode last year when Rep. Jamal Bowman (D-N.Y.) pulled a fire alarm in a Capitol office building, causing an evacuation during a government funding vote. He later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge.'

    'Several of the justices questioned whether the Justice Department has been evenhanded in its prosecution of the Jan. 6 defendants, echoing claims that they are being treated far more harshly than other protesters who have disrupted congressional proceedings or even arguments at the Supreme Court.'

    “Let’s say that today five people get up one after the other and they shout either, ‘Keep the January 6 insurrectionists in jail!’ or ‘Free the January 6 patriots!’ And as a result of this, our police officers have to remove them forcibly from the courtroom. And let’s say we have to delay the proceeding,” Justice Samuel Alito hypothesized.

    Unequal Justice is not justice.
    Novel Applications of the law for opponents while letting folks you favor, skate, is not justice.

    But weird thing for the Leftwing shock troops who repeatedly tried to burn down a federal court house, no felony charges for impeding a federal process.

    'Chief Justice John Roberts seemed to agree with the defendants’ position that the provision fits into a framework of obstruction laws Congress has passed and was intended to close a specific loophole, rather than apply to a wide range of obstructive conduct.'

    Please read the whole thing and discuss.
