As you talk about the likelihood that SCOTUS is about to require a documentary tie to 1512, consider the fact that the defendant in question LITERALLY said he wanted to obstruct the vote cert BY suffocating MoCs.
@emptywheel Do the justices seriously think that these people would commit *anything* to paper?
@emptywheel If SCOTUS rules that way can DOJ produce a superseding indictment that mentions the fact that yes, vote certification involves documents?
@emptywheel If you indict on the wrong charge then step back and indict on a good one. There's plenty of lousy stuff coming out of SCOTUS but even these tainted by corruption black robes occasionally call a ball or strike correctly. They aren't going to say he's guilty of nothing.
@emptywheel the Sct is corrupt to the core
@emptywheel Like THAT would matter to the Supreme Court Republicans of the United States...
@emptywheel @NastyOldWomyn This SCOTUS, allows murder of black protestors, but prevents charging of white ones....esp when one of the justices' wife was one of the coup organizers.
