The fact that this ruling came down after another diatribe from the President on the Hill is notable. The President knows that he cannot change the filibuster but went to the Hill to denounce the laws in over a dozen states as voter suppression...— Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) January 13, 2022
...The Supreme Court decision is a reality call. You cannot change the weather by yelling at it. The same is true with politics and the law. It is time for the Administration to stop the legal improvisation on these issues and return to working within the constitutional framework
......The President showed more rage than reason in his comments. His arguments do not become stronger when they become louder. These laws are not voter suppression. They can be challenged in federal court if they suppress vote, particularly votes of minority groups.
Well, well, well.....
Oath Keepers Leader Stewart Rhodes, 10 Others Charged With Seditious Conspiracy in Jan. 6 Probe
Wall Street Journal ^ | January 13th 2022 | Sadie Gurman and Byron Tau
Eleven people including Stewart Rhodes, the leader and founder of the right-wing militia group the Oath Keepers, have been indicted on charges of seditious conspiracy, marking an escalation of the Justice Department’s investigation into the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 last year.
An indictment unsealed Thursday accused Mr. Rhodes, 56 years old, of organizing an armed plot to storm the Capitol and stop the certification of President Biden’s election victory.
The case marks the first time the Justice Department has filed charges of sedition in connection with the attack and comes days after Attorney General Merrick Garland promised that prosecutors would charge anyone responsible for the Capitol riot “at any level,” not just those who breached the building. Mr. Rhodes didn’t enter the building that day, but prosecutors said he directed his followers there, setting in motion the violence.
His lawyer, Jonathon Moseley, said he was on the phone with Mr. Rhodes Thursday afternoon when agents showed up at his client’s home in Granbury, Texas.
Prosecutors described the 10 other people indicted on seditious conspiracy and other charges as affiliated with the Oath Keepers. Counting Thursday’s indictment, more than three dozen members or affiliates of the Oath Keepers and another far-right group, the Proud Boys, have been arrested in connection with the attack on the Capitol. The Justice Department has charged more than 725 people in the attack to date.
Prosecutors say Mr. Rhodes and other members of the Oath Keepers used encrypted communications apps to coordinate a series of actions leading up to their actions on Jan. 6, including organizing into teams and amassing weapons in the Washington area.
Once protesters had breached the Capitol perimeter, prosecutors say, members of the Oath Keepers marched into the Capitol as a team in “stack formation,” a single-file militarytactic.
