Just remember folks, conservative justices have already decided the case in their head. The only thing to do now is find a way to justify it.

The text of the law is irrelevant.

Trump appointed Constitution originalists to the court. They will do the right sacred thing and shut Jack Smith's out of control lawfare down.

It’s a farce. Originalism is a joke where judges pretend like they can read the minds of people who have been dead for 200 years.

Here’s a hint. They don’t give a shit about original intent. They do whatever they want and pretend it was the original intent.

The text of the law doesn’t matter, nothing matters.

they do pretend that the founders were idiots don't they. finding obscure letters from inconsequential signers of the constitution to make your case while ignoring 200 years of precedent is not very original.

Update

This statute that is so vague that it can be used by political prosecutors to persecute their opponents is not constitutional in the United Stares. The Justices should rule the statute void and quash the indictments.

It’s very convenient that they and only they can tell us what the founders were thinking because obviously the founders can’t tell us.

So who cares what the law says, we are just going to tell people that they didn’t intend to write it that way.

The law says it’s illegal to obstruct an official proceeding. Seems pretty straight forward. But I guess the law doesn’t actually mean what it says, because the justices don’t like it.

Text of the law?
Like slave ownership was for centuries?

Why not wait until after the presidential election?

This is quite possibly one of the dumbest things you could have written.

Court to weigh in on scope of law used in Jan. 6 prosecutions - SCOTUSblog

Two days after Special Counsel Jack Smith asked the justices to decide quickly whether former President Donald Trump can face criminal charges for conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 elections, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case that could affect the charges against Trump even if the

www.scotusblog.com

The defendant in the case, Joseph Fischer, says he was only briefly inside the Capitol on Jan. 6 but was charged with (among other things) assaulting a police officer, disorderly conduct in the Capitol, and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.

Fischer sought to have the charge at the center of his Supreme Court case dismissed, and U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols agreed. He reasoned that the law, which was enacted in the wake of the Enron collapse, was only intended to apply to evidence tampering that obstructs an official proceeding.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit reversed and reinstated the charges against Fischer (as well as those against two other men). It ruled that “nder the most natural reading of the statute,” the law “applies to all forms of corrupt obstruction of an official proceeding, other than the conduct that is already covered by” the evidence-tampering provision.

In a dissenting opinion, Judge Gregory Katsas countered that the government’s interpretation of the law would render it “both improbably broad and unconstitutional in many of its applications.”

Debates over the Constitution are recorded. So are their intent.
Your lies mean nothing.

This well may be the groundbreaking moment that sets the stage for all of next year

One more Conservative justice and Jack Smith's case is doomed.

Bullshit.

Theres so many problems with this ideology, I don’t even know where to begin.

For starters, the founders were a diverse group who disagreed. Whose intent the judge listens to depends largely on who the judge agrees with. Picking and choosing isn’t originalism.

Second, we can’t possibly determine what the intent was on issues the founders had absolutely no knowledge of. They just make it up.

Again, intent and debates are recorded. It isnt my fault you dont know that.
