This decision was probably influenced by the increased odds that Trump will be able to pardon them anyway should he win.
This decision is a huge victory. Additionally ACB wrote a vapid deepstate worshippin dissent that should alarm all conservatives who remained unconvinced to even date that she is no friend of conservatism or restrain on the power of the DOJ to create innovative ways to jail Trump supporters.
And apparently so is AJ ACB.
Libtards and Lez Cheney should be sued into oblivion
Who will the DC gestapo guards torture when these men and women are released and stand by for their stories of abuse. DJT 47, get that revamped DOJ ready to prosecute.
“Those sentences will all need to be reviewed now. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion. Justice Amy Coney Barrett dissented, joined by Sotomayor and Kagan.”
WTF is up with Amy? What a MAJOR disappointment she has been! I’d expect as much from the other two, of course. *SPIT*
BOTTOM LINE:
The Supreme Court has taken a judicial katana to a statute that federal prosecutors weaponized to go after those who participated in the January 6 incident. The question before the court was whether the “obstruction of an official proceeding” statute could be used in how the Justice Department weaponized it to go after hundreds of January 6 defendants.
As SCOTUS Blog covered in April, the plaintiff, Joseph Fischer, a former police officer, argued that the statute only pertained to evidence tampering in a congressional investigation. During oral arguments, justices weren’t convinced by the government’s interpretation, arguing that it could cast too much of a net.
In a 6-3 opinion, the Supreme Court handed down a massive blow to federal prosecutors, concluding, per SCOTUS Blog’s Amy Howe, that for the statute to be used in this way, there must be evidence to the fact that “the defendant impaired the availability or integrity for use in an official proceeding of records.”
NOW HERE’s the BIG SURPRISE — WHO DECIDED WHAT?
In a blow to the narrative that the Supreme Court is rogue and right-wing, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson joined the majority. Justice Amy Coney Barrett dissented.
RE: People were warned about ACB, and the warnings weren’t off-base.
I call her — Ms. “No Standing”.
When a difficult decision has to be made, her tendency would be to AVOID looking at the MERITS of the case and try to hide behind “The plaintiff does not have standing” excuse.
IF YOU THINK THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS IN JEOPARDY WITH A LOSS OF $176 BILLION in 21 months-—
START DOING THE MATH ON THE NEW LAWSUITS OVER J-6.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and Justice Amy Coney Berrett
Sound like they swapped positions for politics.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson couldn’t possibly be against the DS.
The new Sandra O’Conner
Does this throw out the Trump cases too?
LOL. There is absolutely nothing you can point to that supports your belief...nothing. So why post it?
Jackson is turning out to be a much better Jurist than we thought. Barrett is turning out to be much worse.
Ketanji Brown appears to be better than old Coney Dog.
Yes!

All those who were prosecuted maliciously should be meeting with attorneys to sue for damages against the Federal Government. Those who are in prison need immediate release and their damages should be significantly higher. Those that participated in the J6 Committee should be sued jointly and severally.
