In interpreting criminal statutes, it seems to me that Courts should not be creative and expansively read into them things that the legislature which writes the laws did not clearly proscribe as illegal, and it appears that finally, courts higher than the highly partisan D.C. Circuit judges understand that.
Fischer's case went through the appeal process and when he lost, he applied for certiorari to the Supreme Court, which was granted.
If the Supreme Court reverses Joe Fischer's conviction, those two counts alleged in Special Counsel Jack Smith's indictment will be dismissed - and with them the heart of the D.C. prosecution.
Looking at the same statute as the Supreme Court is considering in Fischer, three judges on the D.C. Court of Appeals, ruled this week that rioters did not merit lengthier sentences for interfering in the "administration of justice" when they paraded through the Capitol.
Snip] A federal court in New Hampshire recently dismissed a similar case, ruling that the Fourteenth Amendment claim is a "nonjusticiable political question.
" A Minnesota state court recently dismissed a lawsuit aiming to keep Trump off that state's primary ballot.
A Michigan Court of Claims judge ruled that the Secretary of State must list Trump on the ballot as well.
