Going to end up tossing convictions of several hundred J6ers, and 2 of the 4 J6 counts against Trump.
WASHINGTON, June 28 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on Friday that federal prosecutors erred in how they charged a man for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol began to take effect on some of the 249 people convicted of obstructing an official proceeding.
A federal judge shortly after the ruling ordered the re-sentencing of one man found guilty of that offense, which Donald Trumpalso faces.
The court found that the Justice Department improperly used a law passed in the wake of energy firm Enron Corp's collapse when it charged defendant Joseph Fischer with corruptly obstructing an official proceeding - the congressional certification of President Joe Biden's victory over Trump.
“Given these premises, the case that Fischer can be tried for ‘obstructing, influencing, or impeding an official proceeding’ seems open and shut. So why does the Court hold otherwise?” the conservative justice wrote in a dissent joined by liberals Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. “Because it simply cannot believe that Congress meant what it said.”

No she didn’t. Brown did. Strange befellows for a 6-3 decision.
I think your analysis of SCOTUS rulings is based on what’s best for trump and MAQA yahoos in the short term not common sense, law & order or what’s best for the country in the long term.
The best justices on this court are Coney-Barrett, Brown, Roberts, Gorsuch, Kagan and Kavanaugh who rule based on their interpretation of the law rather than twisting the law to fit their political ideology (like the originalists in name only).

Got it. You think the 6 justices in Fischer are wrong, and 2 of the 2 libs and Barrett are right.
The statute under 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley 2002 was driven by accounting fraud & document destruction. If it had been applied in the way it was being applied against J6ers equally, there would have been ALOT more than J6ers charged. Yet it has only been used in the way it was against J6ers, against J6ers.

I’ve clearly stated that I think this is a pretty good court. I think that because of the 6 justices I listed and despite the clowns that I didn’t list. That doesn’t mean that I’m always going to agree with their rulings.

SCOTUS 6-3 strikes down the Chevron Deference, a deferemce granted to federal agencies as long as their interpretations of fed rules were "reasonable" & Congress had not spoken directly on those rules. If Congress hasn’t spoken to it, then unelected DC bureacrats shouldn’t be allowed to rule on it, as they have been, with little oversight from Congress. This ruling is a huge blow to the overbearing govt regulatory state, and a victory for small businesses & American citizens.
and an even huger blow to clean air and water for your grandchildren
so sad...

BDK’s bolded part illustrates why this is purely political/financial. Environmental standards should be agreed upon by the people with expert input.

And unelected govt bureaucrats have no business setting those standards.
