SCOTUS Rules for Jan 6 Defendant Challenging Obstruction Charge

[SamSwimmer]

NBC Reporting On SCOTUS Ruling

"The justices in a 6-3 vote on nonideological lines handed a win to defendant Joseph Fischer, who is among hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants — including former President Donald Trump — who have been charged with obstructing an official proceeding over the effort to prevent Congress' certification of President Joe Biden’s election victory."​

This was the correct ruling. The obstruction charge that they used was used to go after companies like Enron obstructing investigations , not people planning and attending protests that get rowdy.
