“Obstruction of an official proceeding” had been used in hundreds of cases against Donald Trump’s white nationalist terrorists who attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and on Friday, SCOTUS said the charge can’t be applied.
This means there will be resentencing for many of Donald Trump’s white nationalist terrorists and dropped charges for those who haven’t been prosecuted yet, like Donald Trump, who did face four charges of obstruction.
The court believes obstruction is more about destroying documents and hiding evidence than obstructing an official proceeding. This is another gift for Donald Trump. Tomorrow, SCOTUS will rule on immunity for Donald Trump.
What kind of gift are they going to give him tomorrow?”

It is terrifying on so many fronts. And between him and his followers, you know that regardless of how badly they are beaten at the polls (gods help us), they will not accept it and there will in the least be violence and in the worst a political crisis.
