Bernstein: I wouldn't 'overestimate' importance of Jan. 6 rioters case in Supreme Court

Every hypothetical uttered by the Justices in this clip focussed on the *act that might cause obstruction, while ignoring the *intent of the act. If the intent is clearly to stop an official proceeding, not just protest it, then it should be prosecuted under that law as a crime.

The Supreme Court certainly isn’t there for the average American. It’s become so politicized it lost its credibility.

That is an invitation to do it again. This is crazy.

Corruption just plain corruption

Thomas should have recused himself. His wife is directly involved in the case at hand.

Any of these people could have left the property. They were there to stop the certification! Period. Own it.

This purchased Supreme Court continues to embarrass itself on key issues. The people that broken into the capital shouldn't be punished at all for their crimes if this Court has its way. It's a sad day for the court system.

SCOTUS is playing politics.

WHAT IF is hypothetical, deal with WHAT HAPPENED

How are Americans supposed to believe that the supreme court is fair? Comparing insurrection with hecklers is like comparing murder to getting a parking ticket!

Vote. Vote. Vote. As if your life depends on it. Because it does.

In the Netherlands … we don’t vote for a rapist. 🤷‍♂️

If what they did that day is harmless, then everything is fair game. Laws mean nothing, if one side can just ignore them when they please.

Supreme Court justices need to held accountable ‼️‼️

2:20 All examples suggested by Gorsuch are non-violent actions that do not result in personal injury or property damage. It's another reach by a MAGA to normalize criminal acts against democracy. His questions are an insult to the Law and the nation.

Well they have to protect Ginny of course…

Those counter examples given by the Supreme Court weren’t very convincing. All of those examples were things that are done in the lead up to a decision where you hope to influence a decision or election to your preferred outcome. For 1/6, the election has already happened in Nov… too late. If their goal was first amendment speech to influence an election, the time to do so was before the election; to do so on 1/6 isn’t to express yourself and convince people in an election, it is to deliberately undermine the election.

Nixon: the president who became a swindler Trump: the swindler who became president

Breaking windows to get into the Capitol is breaking and entering while it was locked up, and they forcefully broke through a Capitol police barricade with officers there to prevent any entrance by anyone, was against the law!

Actually this obstruction was about documents. That's why the clerks fled with the boxes containing each state's electoral votes. Without those electoral documents they could not have proceeded.
