Supreme Court Exposes Biden’s Worst Crime

Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch of the Supreme Court exposed the unacceptable practice of the Biden team’s selective prosecution of protestors and rioters during oral arguments on Tuesday.

In Fischer v. United States, Penn. Joseph Fischer argued that his acts during the Capitol riot on January 6 should not be subject to accusations of “obstruct[ion of] any official procedure,” as found in 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c). Accusations of attacking police officers further tarnished Fischer’s reputation. His assertions that he was not attempting to “impede” or hinder official (and significant) congressional work are bogus; yet, Gorsuch and Alito were more concerned with an issue that went beyond Fischer’s specific situation.

Of the approximately 1,400 defendants on Jan. 6, about 300 have also been accused of breaking 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c). The two judges were perplexed by the inconsistent application of the legislation by President Joe Biden’s appointees, as well as their broad claim to its application against disadvantaged defendants. On the other hand, Biden and his officials turn a blind eye when leftists, including members of Congress, interfere with government operations by using force.

“Could a sit-in that obstructs a federal courthouse’s access or a trial be considered unlawful obstruction?” Gorsuch questioned Elizabeth Prelogar, Biden’s solicitor general. “Would a heckler at the annual State of the Union address or in today’s audience qualify?” Would setting off a fire alarm before a vote result in a 20-year federal jail sentence?

Before a crucial spending vote on September 30, progressive Representative Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) staged a fire alarm. He admitted guilt to a misdemeanor charge carrying petty fines, but he boasted that he was not charged with obstructing U.S. House proceedings, even though it was evident that he had caused an evacuation when the alarm went off. The mandated mass evacuation thwarted preparations to prevent a government shutdown.

Gorsuch persisted after Prelogar’s attempt to make distinctions seemed clumsy and unclear. Gorsuch somewhat mockingly questioned why “a mostly peaceful protest… that really obstructs an official proceeding for an indefinite time period would not be covered,” using the catchphrase liberal media and others like to use about urban riots, even the ones where police were hurt, cars were set on fire, and courthouses were greatly damaged, resulting in trial relocations or delays.

Prelogar struggled throughout the interrogation, even when Alito detected recurring themes. She once stated that “we would have to have evidence of intent” in order to prosecute someone under the relevant statute. However, it is evident that a sizable portion of the Jan. 6 rioters were ignorant of the congressional proceedings rather than attempting to obstruct them, even though they knew they should not have been in the Capitol and were therefore criminally liable for disorderly and trespassing or conduct. This administration, however, is dismissing a large number of them.

The issue is not that the Capitol rioters should get away with everything; rather, it is that the Biden administration is arbitrarily enforcing rules against unapproved protests based on its own ideological beliefs.

That is why, in 2020, Kamala Harris, the vice president at the moment, supported organizations that wanted to free killers from prison and called for a year-long continuation of the frequently violent post-George Floyd riots. While allowing hundreds of attacks on pro-life centers to go unpunished, the Biden Justice Department attempts to prosecute defenseless anti-abortion protestors. It labels parents as domestic terrorists and refuses to implement laws prohibiting protests at the homes of Supreme Court justices nominated by Republicans. There are innumerable instances of double standards.

While not all entail the accusation of “obstructing” a “proceeding,” the general pattern is evident. This government tolerates riots and disruptive protests that advance leftist causes or narratives but punishes conservative demonstrations—even non-intrusive ones—heavily.

This is not to suggest that the Supreme Court should decide on this case or this legislation. That being said, Gorsuch and Alito unveiled the administration’s duplicity and uneven justice system for the world to see.
