The scumbag insurrectionists can still be charged with many other violations of the US Code, just not obstruction. Although, give the Supremes a minute and they'll void those, as well.
I can't help but think that the reason they are now taking this balls-out run at totalitarianism is because they finally have the ability to track every one of our movements, transactions, utterances, and thoughts. The Total Information Awareness program that Congress forbid and that was then broken up into sub-projects by the Bush Administration so as to continue unmolested, is ready for implementation. Combined with AI (former head of the NSA has just joined the board of OpenAI), we are well and truly fucked. 1984 and Big Brother, here we come.
Speaking of crap, he's going to have to defecate in front of many of those despised negroes. I consider it a tiny victory, but I take my pleasures where I can.
In Fischer, SCOTUS is enshrining the quirky (meaning: batshit) interpretation of circuit court judge Carl Nichols, who first obliterated the "or" in that obstruction statute.
Will it shock you to learn that Nichols was appointed by Trump? No? Didn't think so. The rot doesn't always start at the head; sometimes it goes both ways.
Jesus fucking Christ America. Look, I'm not an American and don't live in America, but you guys are still scaring the shit out of me. America is on a runaway train of SCOTUS insanity - or maybe just simple corruption. Actually... probably both.
And it seems like all anyone, (sane), can do, is scream: "What the actual fuck!", whenever the Supreme Court adds to the pile of "stupid", with even more "stupid".
If we manage to hold on to the White House and flip Congress we need to rip those fuckers out of the court, disbar them, and ideally throw them in prison for corruption. They're all about being tough on crime right? Put them in time out in solitary for a couple decades or so.
The Supremes, on the same day that they struck down Chevron deference, admit that judges have no special competence to deal with complex issues like homelessness. But they are suitable to decide all challenges to the vast array of highly technical federal rules and regulations without any deference to the relevant agencies that wrote them.
The federalist takeover -- all power to federal judges now that we have a factory for cloning and installing legal luminaries like Kacsmaryk and Loose Cannon into out of the way district courts where they can issue national injunctions (in between cruises and "seminars" in Aspen and Banff)
Though doubtless well intended, the Ninth Circuit’s Martin experiment defied these lessons. Answers to questions such as what constitutes “involuntarily” homelessness or when a shelter is “practically available” cannot be found in the Cruel and Unusual Punishments Clause. Nor do federal judges enjoy any special competence to provide them. Cities across the West report that the Ninth Circuit’s involun tariness test has created intolerable uncertainty for them. By extending Robinson beyond the narrow class of pure status crimes, the Ninth Circuit has created a right that has proven “impossible” for judges to delineate except “by fiat.” Powell, 392 U. S., at 534. As Justice Marshall anticipated in Powell, the Ninth Circuit’s rules have produced confusion and they have interfered with “essential considerations of federalism,” by taking from the people and their elected leaders difficult questions traditionally “thought to be the[ir] province.” Id., at 535–536. Pp. 24–34.
Cheer up.

I will drink. 🍷
In fact, I already am. 🍷

And let's not mention Judge Cannon, shall we!
"Never ascribe to malice that which can simply be put down to greed".
SCROTUS this week has blatantly declared themselves both illegitimate AND "open for business"
With respect to dismantling rules against pollution: What the actual fuck?
Thank you for wading through that shit, Marcie Jones. My mind boggles.
Oh, Jesus Christ- they literally did an Anatole France.
"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread."
Oh boy, here comes leaded gasoline, asbestos, and open-cycle nuclear powered airliners.
So where's Mucius Scaevola when you really, really need him?
Out murdering Thomas à Becket, I guess.
Can we officially call these right-wing so-called "judges" "activists legislating from the bench" now? Or is that label still reserved for liberals?

They're going to fight any election loss in the courts.
That goes without saying

I sure picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
Why didn’t Biden increase the number of SCOTUS judges??? Hes better than thump (& I’ll be voting BLUE across the board), but we need something more.
Wouldn't have passed the Senate.
