The Department of Injustice (DOJ) is using a statute called “obstructed a Congressional proceeding” to prosecute hundreds of these protesters simply for exercising their First Amendment rights. This statute is a serious felony with the potential of 20 years behind bars.
CNN notes that this case also has implications for President Donald Trump, who was charged by corrupt special counsel Jack Smith for exercising his First Amendment rights on that fateful day.
Justice Neil Gorsuch stole the show this morning by blowing up the foundation of the DOJ’s case against the nonviolent J6 protesters. While the Trump supporters simply exercised their freedom of speech, there were leftist individuals who committed actual felonies that the Biden regime gave a complete pass to.
Gorsuch threw out several meaningful real-life incidents involving these left-wing figures, including the unlawful sit-ins during a trial (which occurred during the Brett Kavanaugh hearing in 2018), Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) pulling a fire alarm to prevent a critical vote to keep the government open, hecklers during the State of the Union, and so-called “mostly peaceful” protests (BLM riots).
Gorsuch asked Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar whether those actions would qualify for 20 years in prison. Prelogar tried to spin her out of the questioning. She claimed that the DOJ would need to prove “corrupt intent” and whether these incidents qualified as a “meaningful” disruption of the proceedings.
Of course, all of these incidents recounted by Gorsuch met those qualifications, meaning the leftists, including Bowman, should have received years in prison. But Prelogar could not really answer Gorsuch’s queries

“If no one hears or sees what transpired in the court did it really happen?” applies.
Gorsuch applying Common Sense 👍
Like gag me with a spoon orange man so so bad your honor
Doesn’t “corrupt intent” boil down to whether the protesters are Republicans or Democrats? Your guys have a corrupt intent but our guys are just exercising their First Amendment rights. In other words, Prelogar’s invocation of a “corrupt intent” just proves that these prosecutions are politically motivated.
Just the latest incarnation of an FR newbie “Pied Piper” leading the unsuspecting off a cliff. Where the hell were you all the years prior to 2022, which is when you finally decided to mysteriously show up on FR to give us all the benefit of your overflowing wisdom and penetrative posting skills?
What did the weeks long occupation of the Wisconsin capitol to
prevent the Legislature from conducting business get classified as?
How long did those protesters rot in prison?
that poor idiot woman was so obviously in over her head. Almost certainly a DEI (didn’t earn it) hire
rot in prison? HA! they were delivered pizza!
two sets of justice in this country now.
Why have they waited so long while these poor political prisoners remain in the Gulag? Supreme court has blood on their hands.
Love it! When do they rule, June? Or before?
A two tiered justice system is no justice system.
