Supreme Court May Rule on the "Overcriminalization" of January 6 Political Prosecutions
Good news, if it actually happens.
Many, many "protests" of the left disrupt government functions, usually deliberately. If this law is actually intended to be used against protesters "taking over" federal spaces and expose them to sentences of 20 years -- why isn't ever deployed against the many insurrections of the far left?
Two Jan. 6 defendants are asking the Supreme Court to correct what they argue is "prosecutorial overcharging" before their cases go to trial. Edward Lang and Garrett Miller, who allegedly both entered the Capitol on Jan. 6, are asking the Supreme Court to dismiss an obstruction charge against them before their trials, alleging prosecutors broadened an unrelated statute to "over-penalize" those who participated in the riots, according to their petitions. If the Supreme Court takes the case, it could have broad implications for hundreds of other Jan. 6 defendants indicted under the statute. The law under consideration is Section 1512(c)(2), which carries a maximum 20 year prison sentence for anyone who "obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding." Though the statute was passed to fight evidence tampering, government prosecutors have reasoned that Lang and Miller, along with many other Jan. 6 defendants, obstructed an official proceeding by attempting to disrupt Congress from certifying the election results. In an amicus brief filed Aug. 30, three other defendants with pending cases before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia asked the Supreme Court to hear the case to prevent "a cascade of errors and misconceptions in the application of the law and undeserved harm to the defendants and the public perception of the courts." Over 200 defendants have been charged under the statue, according to the brief. "A short walk from the building in which this Court sits, 'a revolution is underway, with ambitious federal prosecutors reworking the penal code to make it do work never intended to be done, work that threatens to chill, and does chill, ordinary Americans in their First Amendment rights to assemble, to petition for the redress of grievances and to speak out on matters of public concern," Lang's petition begins, calling the application of Section 1512(c)(2) "overcriminalization of otherwise criminal conduct."

This should’ve happened a long time ago.
Of course, had Trump been a halfway decent human being, he would’ve pardoned these people while in office or at least payed their legal fees. Some of them were having to use public defenders.
Instead, he just threw them under the bus. Disowned all of it.

++++
This is one of the goals of protesting, period. Civil disobedience disrupts government function. That is one of the points of the entire exercise. To say, "you have the right to speech and association and assembly, but only if no official function is disrupted in any way," then you've canceled the First Amendment.
What is "disruption?" Marches and protests can block streets. That can disrupt a commuter on his way to his government job. Is that "disruption?" Protesters may demand that government officials do something. Is that "solicitation of violation of oath" like they claim in Georgia?
All of these fig leaves behind which they're trying to hide all have the same implication: you have no freedom of speech or association or assembly. If you think you do, we'll find some "law" that claims that it's totally different this time, for some reason.

They miscreants were let in by the Democrats. If one of them goes too far and actually injures or assassinates a GOPer, it will be terrorism and the sponsor will be the Democrats.

As with the Courts fighting these Gov of NM, this is all well and good (especially if it frees these political prisoners) but is moot if there's no actual punishment for those beaking the law.
Okay so the supreme court says it's illegal, but the prosecutors, doj and judges will just continue to do it, because there's no disincentive for them not to.
Unless those breaking the laws of the constitution are personally punished for committing these crimes, ruling on these things are just a slight stumble for them

The only "crimes" that should have reasonably been brought for J6 are trespassing, vandalism, and ONLY for those who are seen engaging in violence, assault charges.
Oh, and one count of murder, for the coward cop who stepped out of the shadows and fired on an unarmed woman climbing through a window.
But none of this has anything to do with crimes. The government isn't bringing charges for crimes. They're bringing charges for opposing them. Obviously.
And I don't understand why anyone thinks this is going to get resolve with justice, in a court.

Interesting: "In a prosecution for an offense under this section, it is an affirmative defense, as to which the defendant has the burden of proof by a preponderance of the evidence, that the conduct consisted solely of lawful conduct and that the defendant’s sole intention was to encourage, induce, or cause the other person to testify truthfully."
And, "As used in section 1505, the term “corruptly” means acting with an improper purpose, personally or by influencing another, including making a false or misleading statement, or withholding, concealing, altering, or destroying a document or other information."

They will be hired as congressional staffers.
Wait...scratch that...they're probably already congressional staffers.
Don't be ridiculous. They'll either be anchors at CNN / MSNBC or tenured professors at Harvard or Berkeley.

Enough "brave" Democrats will back McCarthy to clear the logjam, and in exchange he'll probably drop his "impeachment inquiry" posturing by hiding behind a newfound enthusiasm for certain interpretations of House protocol that claim that a floor vote is required prior to preliminary inquiries. The shields are already in place. McCarthy is secure.

Many protests "impede" some sort of "official proceeding."
For example, when antifa shuts down highways, presumably at least once or twice a juror or lawyer or someone was unable to make it to court and a court proceeding had to be delayed, no?
And more to the point, when hundreds of pink haired weirdos insurrected the capitol during Kavanaugh's hearing and impeded that, I don't recall anyone going to jail for 20 years.
This is absolute silliness.

Barring a prison break, by outside mobs with pitchforks, most J6 prisoners will *never* see freedom. I said this at about month three. They are being tortured and it's been years now.
If you had tortured men for years would you ever let them go free? Would you take that risk to your own life? Because every single one of these people would be justified in taking their time once freed, and exacting the ultimate judgement upon their captors, and upon their jailers. And their captors and jailers know it, so won't risk freeing them. Ever.
The prisoners would also be justified, IMO, in hating all of us forever too. Because all we did was pray and mumble "support".
I'd be like "man, fuck you" to literally everyone for the rest of my life it it were me. Except maybe Jim Hoft and a couple others.

Not so sure about that. Criminal laws are to be strictly construed is a maxim and first amendment rights in political speech trump statutory law and require any statute thus affecting it must be a) narrowly tailored so as to indicate what is legal and what is not for the average citizen.
The first is indicated in the Enron trials of Skilling and the later case of Conrad Black over the 'honest services' provision. Jeffrey Skilling and Conrad Black had their honest services convictions thrown out as even Justice Ginsberg agreed that the law was bent by a vengeful prosecutor named Andrew Weissman in Skilling's case into a club for prosecutors well beyond the statute's meaning.
Neither though involved the first amendment and the fact that the US did not prosecute similarly situated individuals make it difficult to understand the equal application of the law other than viewpoint discrimination, let alone the broad interpretation of it by prosecutors

I don't. The well is poisoned. These institutions can't be fixed with a knuckle-rapping from SCOTUS. They have to be torn down brick by perfidious brick and totally replaced.

Yeah, there were pardons Trump could have, and SHOULD have issued. I don't know if anyone advising him could have predicted what was coming for the J6 political martyrs.
What bothers me more is how quiet the rest of the R party is on all this. You get squeaks here and there, but the whole damn party could be, and SHOULD be publicly opposing ALL of this, and generally, they're not.
Just as they should ALL be loudly opposing Trumps persecutions. We know why they're not doing that.

Posted by: OldCurmudgeon at September 14, 2023 12:16 PM (fQ0xm)
I doubt they'd even be able to make that argument. But even if a judge allowed it, it's a DC jury we're talking about. And a DC judge who has compared protestors to terrorists. Think she'll make rulings in the Defendants favor during a trial?
The jury could convict on the most serious charges, and you're looking at 20+ years in prison.
Would you risk that? Or would you take a plea deal?

85 You can pre-pardon someone, see Gerald Ford for an example.
You are quite literally obtuse and ignorant. Ford's pardon of Nixon was never constitutionally challenged because a) it involved a specific individual that perhaps might be charged with many crimes and b) lack of standing to do so because the prosecutions were speculative. If you want to educated about Watergate, you might read about Nixon's appearance before one of the Watergate Grand juries post presidency where he discusses the matters and his decisionmaking.
On Carter's pardon, it was for many individuals being accused of one specific act, avoidance of the draft and was both for individuals charged in the past and to prevent specific individuals from being charged in the future. Thus, specificity in the charge but applied broadly. Civil War had similar pardons.

It's my understanding that they have, and that they are progressing towards trying some kind of floor vote. It's also apparently the truth that these bills do have significant cuts.
It's also true that the Senate will simply refuse to vote on the bills or go into conference on them, staging the groundwork for a government shutdown that can "only" be avoided by the House buckling and passing a must pass CR last minute.

"Cash for Clunkers" pissed away taxpayer dollars to take functional vehicles off the street (thereby depressing an entire market segment) and then use those dollars to amplify leverage in the rest of the market, resulting in higher aggregate debt and price levels across the entire auto market for a decade. It was enormously destructive and extremely bad policy on every level.
Despite the downsides, one thing about the policy remains true: more new cars got delivered than otherwise would have been. The costs were catastrophic, but the cars *did* move.
Congress doesn't even have that kind of limp-wristed bullshit in its "plus" column. It's "plus" column is empty.

I haven't been following this very closely, but as I understand it, most people plead guilty in a plea deal.
So there's not much you can do there. There's nothing to petition SCOTUS about. They admitted to a crime.
And the plaintiffs in this case haven't been convicted of anything yet.
I'd say SCOTUS would be justified in punting the case by saying it's not ripe. If they want to.
They could also hear it. If they want to.

Some state courts operate differently, where you can say "Hey, State Supreme Court, this law was just passed and while we haven't had any damages yet, we THINK there will be some down the line, can you weigh in on this?"
But not the federal courts.

I don't. The well is poisoned. These institutions can't be fixed with a knuckle-rapping from SCOTUS. They have to be torn down brick by perfidious brick and totally replaced. A single appropriate SCOTUS ruling isn't going to carry much weight, I don't think. I may well be wrong, but it's so toxic at this point that I doubt it.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at September 14, 2023 12:25 PM (t0OGg)
Yeah, basically. Supreme Court only continues to have some power because the rest of the power structure allows it. Lots of nickel and dime rulings get handed down, but as far as I can tell, there was only one ruling this court made that actually made any real difference.
Otherwise, all they ever CAN do is swat down the administration when it oversteps its bounds, and all of that ends up taking years, and most people have no clue where anything really gets settled.
So it's not a completely useless institution, but we're getting close.

BTW, first guy on the list was charged on, "Case 1:22-cr-00302-DLF Document 1 Filed 09/13/22 Page 1 of 1".
Wiki: "Early on, the majority of charges filed were for disorderly conduct and unlawful entry,[9] but eventually, some people were charged with seditious conspiracy. [...] On January 8, 2021, the Justice Department announced charges against 13 people in connection with the Capitol riot in federal district court, while more had been charged in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.[39][40]" [Linked in my sock.]
"In addition, approximately 40 individuals have been arrested and charged in Superior Court with offenses including, but not limited to, unlawful entry, curfew violations, and firearms-related crimes."

I don't think so. EVs were barely a thing back then, and the market destruction caused by the program needed about a decade to work through.
I think it was exactly what it presented itself as: a way to use taxpayer money to bail out automakers and increase systemic debt in a grossly inefficient way that sacrificed the low end of the used car market (and those usually poor and young people who depend upon it) on an altar of corruption to score cheap political points during election season with no care whatsoever for broader consequences or the abject insanity of committing vast sums of money to willfully destroy functional - and unencumbered - capital assets that are also vital tools for the purpose of pushing a new generation of debt-encumbered assets for the benefit of a small portion of the population at the expense of everyone - an expense borne most severely by those least able to afford it.

again, from the wapo june 16 2020:
During the first week of arrests when the majority of charges were filed, Michael R. Sherwin, acting U.S. attorney for the District, said his office ultimately chose to not pursue rioting charges and instead focused on counts involving assault, property damage or burglary, where prosecutors felt the evidence was clear.
"I did not authorize any of those individuals to be charged with rioting. I think that’s a very gray area, a very dangerous area that bleeds into protesting, and what is First Amendment [protected] and what is not," Sherwin said in a June 5 statement to The Washington Post. "But what we did charge and will continue to charge is any and all acts of violence, physical aggression and property damage - such conduct will never be condoned or accepted in the District."

In other words: they wanted to steal from the poor to give to the rich (and the government). but in a very roundabout way.

American defense giant RTX and a Saudi weapons firm were heading toward a multibillion-dollar deal when it was abruptly called off early this year. The reason, say people familiar with the talks, was RTX’s concerns that its Saudi partner’s companies were pursuing business with sanctioned Chinese and Russian entities.
That unease was a deciding factor for an advisory board of retired American military officers to resign from the Saudi company, Scopa Defense, the people said. Scopa fired its American chief executive who had raised the sanctions concerns with his company’s owner and U.S. officials.

For two years, I met with Mitt Romney in his DC townhome as he grappled with what his party—and his country—were becoming. The stories he told me from inside the Senate were extraordinary and damning.

David Brock is obviously a journalistic whore, but sure, if you find corruption on R party pols, go for it, bud.
Reminds me of when Flint went after the Clinton impeachment crowd, and found all sorts of sex shenanigans for some of the R congresscritters. So they had to resign in shame.
Fine by me.

Alexander married into the power structure. Not an option for us. We COULD have picked a tribe or two and backed them but that might have been effective and wouldn't allow social engineering and other gay ops.
Yeah - along with killing a significant portion of the tribes siding with the Taliban.
You win wars by inflicting pain on your enemies until they are willing to agree to your terms. You don't win wars by giving your enemies money so they can buy weapons to kill your soldiers who you send to engage in police work.

They must be broken. They must be ripped out, root and stem. All peacefully, of course.

Uhmm, Trump was President for all of 15 days after J6, the dust hadn't even settled before he literally had no power to do anything to help anyone.
Not to mention pretty much everyone abandoned ship after J6.
So this notion that Trump somehow failed to do something is comical.

Conservatives and Maga types putting their hopes on the Supreme Court are in for the terrible disappointment. The Supreme Court screws things up more often than not. And they are incredibly slow to act. Consider that it took them 50 years to undo their screwup of Roe v. Wade. And they never did get around to undoing their Dred Scott screwup. This is a weak and fickle institution, unworthy of anyone’s confidence.
Want a better bang for your buck: put Maga types in prosecutorial positions, and let the prosecutions of the left for their political viewpoint commence, full force. Then, you might see a change. Not till then.

We really aren’t asking for a lot. Nobody is saying Trump should’ve gone Pinochet on the J6 situation.
Issue pardons, set up a legal defense fund, help these people out. Even helping them in appeals would be something. Saying it wouldn’t work but not trying is weak sauce.
I can’t even imagine how I would feel if people were spending the rest of their lives in a prison on behalf of me. With even one of them committing suicide.
I don’t even really see a viable legal path for the Supreme Court to fix all of this.

Then a bunch of Trump supporters got arrested, and have been political prisoners for 3 years now. And Trump did nothing for them when he was president, and has continued to do nothing to help them.
Uhmm, Trump was President for all of 15 days after J6, the dust hadn't even settled before he literally had no power to do anything to help anyone.
Not to mention pretty much everyone abandoned ship after J6.
So this notion that Trump somehow failed to do something is comical.

It seems to me that most of them weren't even arrested until after Potato Brain was inaugurated.

What I can't fathom is how the Fed can sell off its' balance sheet when the prices of those instruments should be way under water due to current rates. The short term stuff has mostly rolled off, but how do you Quantitatively Tighten the 1-2% yielding long term stuff?

Trump appears to be doing exactly that. He had helped the Patriot Freedom Project, for example, and left it to them to decide what level of publicity is appropriate.
Given the level of Trump hatred in DC, this is probably the correct approach.

One would be hard-pressed to claim that J6 defendants are in front of a "jury of their peers."
I'm sure SCOTUS has reviewed what constitutes an unbiased jury, but it is high time that us reviewed again.
Let's be honest, these jurors basically live by the mantra "I can tell if a man is guilty just by looking at his voting record."

I think the difference if they had to answer is that left wing protestors - like the ones who held Senator Jeff Flake hostage while screaming at him in an elevator in the Senate Office building during the Kavanaugh nomination committee proceedings used moral suasion rather than force - this is proven by the fact that after this episode Flake postponed the committee vote. (This was set up for him by his good friend Senator Chris Koons of Delaware).
The January 6 people in the Capital building - even though they didn't get near any actual elected office holders - were planning on tearing them limb from limb in the telling of the regime.
Naturally, the real guiding principle is Stalin's "who, whom?" Their guys are good/freedom fighters/brave speakers of truth to power while ours are evil/terrorists/low class types.

220 that piece of shit Ed Driscoll at Instapundit called for prosecutions to the fullest extent of the law of the J6ers on January 6th to signal his virtue as a that's not who we are conservative.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to read Insty. Used to be my first stop. Then he took on co-writers. Driscoll is the worst. He doesn't 'get' that Insty is a site of short, concise posts. His 15-paragraph BS is merely scroll-worthy, IMO.

The just-announced Hunter Biden indictments on gun charges have to be seen as part of this.
"Our Democracy" so closely resembles the USSR, and I am intellectually honest enough to point this out when someone as loathsome as Hunter gets the hook to further the Inner Party.

Sec 1512 is 'Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant.'
That alone ought to get every charge under that section thrown out with prejudice.
Not to mention the stated purpose, which has no applicability to anything that happened:
(b) The Congress declares that the purposes of this Act [see Short Title of 1982 Amendment note set out under section 1501 of this title] are-
"(1) to enhance and protect the necessary role of crime victims and witnesses in the criminal justice process;
"(2) to ensure that the Federal Government does all that is possible within limits of available resources to assist victims and witnesses of crime without infringing on the constitutional rights of the defendant; and

The commenters there are nuts as well. As to the co-writers there, add Green, with his pro-Ukraine puffing and spinning, and David Bernstein, with his Trump-is-unfit-for-anything line.

I don't think the SCOTUS is going to touch this case. It's not usually their purview to correct prosecutorial misconduct or an overzealous application of the law. Or uneven application of that zeal.
The J6 folks are screwed unless they get a Republican who pardons them. Even then it would have to be someone like Trump, because the Nikki Haley's of the world are way too icked out over rioting maga people than they are by the steam pile of corrupt theft that was the 2020 election.

Not a lawyer, but putting someone in prison for 22 years for not even being in DC while giving murderers and arsonists fewer months would seem unequal protection under the law.
