Today the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the Fischer v. United States case, which pertains to the 1512(c) charge that has been levied against January 6 protestors. 1512(c) is part of the Sarbanes-Oxley act of 2002, and it prohibits the obstruction of official proceedings and destruction of evidence. The question is: does protesting on January 6 really count as a violation of this law? Carrie Severino has a great bench memo on the case in National Review. We are meant to trust that the government will give citizens their Constitutionally guaranteed rights to due process, but the use of the 1512(c) law is emblematic of how much the narrative machine has stretched the narrative to take down political enemies on the right.
“The U.S. is rapidly losing ground to China in trade. We must right the ship and put workers and American job-creators at the center of an effective trade agenda.
This starts with strict enforcement – something the Biden Administration has failed to do.”
– Rep. Jason Smith
