Clarence Thomas is BACK at SCOTUS and He is Already Dropping the Hammer on Major J6 Case The critical J6 case of Fischer vs. United States is underway at the Supreme Court. One Justice who is back after a 'mysterious' absence on Monday, Clarence Thomas, asked the first question. "The question is whether the second part--very vague--is tied or independent of the first part: 'alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, with the intent to impair the object's integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding'," @julie_kelly2 notes. The felony "obstruction of an official proceeding" charge has been applied to hundreds of J6 cases, despite the lack of precedent. The 1512(c)(2) obstruction of an official proceeding statute typically applies to cases where a corporation destroys documents related to an ongoing court case. If the Supreme Court removes the obstruction of an official proceeding charge from January 6 cases, D.C. circuit judges have promised to issue more severe sentencing guidelines to make up for the removed charge.

@kylenabecker It will be a great day when he is gone. Perhaps, in Biden's next term, an ethical and competent justice can be appointed.
@kylenabecker Can the DC circuit judges just circumvent the Supreme Court in this way?
@kylenabecker You can’t change sentencing guidelines after the crime has been committed.
@kylenabecker TRUST ME, WE ALL KNOW WHAT OBSTRUCTION OF A FEDERAL PROCEEDING IS. IT'S PRECISELY WHAT HAPPENED ON 1/6 WHEN THEY STORMED THE CAPITOL IN AN EFFORT TO DISTRUPT, IMPEDE THE ELECTORAL CERTIFICATION COUNT TO TAKE PLACE. HOW CLEAR IS THAT? NOT CLEAR ENOUGH IF YOUR WIFE IS INVOLVED.
@kylenabecker The outcome of today's hearing will determine whether charges can stand against those involved, including the biased political prosecution of Donald Trump.
@kylenabecker Do you know they sentenced a guy (George Tenney) to 3 years in prison for entering the Capitol for 16 minutes. He asked for the mag doors to be unlocked because people outside were getting crushed. He then left the building. 3 F-ing YEARS!
@kylenabecker Retaliation isn't going to be well received. Good way to have the entire thing thrown out.
