Fischer appealed his eventual conviction, challenging an obstruction statute, 18 USC 1512(c), used to prosecute hundreds of Jan 6 rioters as well as Trump. Oral arguments in SCOTUS today.

Yeah, this charge seems sketch.  Stick to reality when charging and convicting, please.[/quote]
What about it is “sketch”?[/quote]

Agree. The only think sketch about this is that a mob of individuals invaded the Capitol and attempted to end the certification of the presidential election. IDK about the PP who claimed this seemed "sketch," but I visited the Capitol a number of times - many many many - over the 20 years I lived and worked in DC. The rules about what one can bring into the Capitol, even onto the grounds, are pretty specific as well as the use of objects already on the grounds. This is largely, though not exclusively, informed by enslaver Rep Preston Brooks (SC) nearly beating abolitionist Sen Charles Sumner (MA) to death with a cane (1850s?). Brandishing the flag poles by insurrectionists was not due to being caught up in the "patriotic" moment but a lethal threat to their opponents.[/quote]
So many tourists bay for blood while looking for Congress and smearing poop on the walls. [/quote]
