Brett Kavanaugh's Questioning of January 6 Charges Sparks Fury
Justice Brett Kavanaugh's interrogation of obstruction charges against a January 6 defendant has stirred backlash on social media.
During Tuesday's Supreme Court session, arguments were presented regarding Joseph Fischer, a former Pennsylvania police officer indicted for his involvement in disrupting Congress' certification of Joe Biden's presidential win over Donald Trump.
Conservative justices on the court hinted at the potential to overturn many of the criminal charges against Capitol riot participants. A favorable ruling might also impact Trump's obstruction case, overseen by special counsel Jack Smith.
The conservative majority, comprising 6 of 9 justices, voiced reservations about prosecutors' use of the anti-obstruction provision from the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act in Fischer's case, initially designed in response to the Enron scandal.
