Jan. 6 Prisoner Takes His Obstruction Charge to the Supreme Court
Epoch Times ^ | 7/15/23 | Patricia Tolson

In a historic move, a Jan. 6 prisoner has taken his challenge of the infamous obstruction charge, levied against him and hundreds of other Jan. 6 prisoners and defendants, all the way to the Supreme Court.

On July 7, attorneys for Jan. 6 prisoner Edward Jacob (Jake) Lang filed a document with the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) challenging the government’s obstruction of Congress charge—one of the most common felony charges used against Jan. 6 defendants—which carries a 20-year prison sentence.

“We filed what’s called a writ of certiorari, or a request to the Supreme Court to hear an issue,” Norm Pattis, lead attorney for Mr. Lang, told The Epoch Times. Mr. Pattis explained that the legal team is asking the high court to review the details behind Mr. Lang’s alleged violation of Title 18 U.S. Code Section 1512(c)(2), one of the 11 charges against him, according to court documents (pdf).

A number of news organizations, conservative & liberal, as well as the courts. It’s out there. Take a peak. You may learn something if you want to.

American citizens have no standing in cases involving the destruction of their liberty or right to a speedy trial.

Talk about interacting with your government!

He's seen the Highest Legislative branch in action
so now it's the turn of the Judicial branch.

Might the third branch be needed for a pardon?
