Justices to Decide If Rioters Can Face Obstruction Charges

Washington Post: “On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments about whether prosecutors improperly stretched the law by charging people with that violation in the first place.”

“The high court’s ruling, likely to land in late June, has the potential to undo the convictions and sentences of those who have already gone to trial or pleaded guilty, and upend the charges still pending for many more. … The case could also directly impact Trump’s own trial for allegedly trying to remain in power after his 2020 defeat.”
