Supreme Court challenges obstruction charges brought against Jan. 6 rioters and Trump – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
SUMMARY: The Supreme Court's recent decision has complicated efforts to charge Capitol riot defendants, including former President Donald Trump, with obstruction. The ruling requires proof that defendants tampered with or destroyed documents. This could influence assertions by Trump and allies claiming unfair treatment by the Justice Department. The case of ex-Pennsylvania officer Joseph Fischer has been sent to a lower court for further review. About 350 people face obstruction charges from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, with around 170 convictions. Some sentences are being reconsidered, but no defendants will be fully exonerated due to additional charges.

Sotomayor’s dissent: Supreme Court’s liberal justices warn of law-free zone stemming from Trump immunity ruling
SUMMARY: In a significant ruling, the Supreme Court decided 6-3 that former presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts while in office, but not for unofficial acts. Justice Sonia Sotomayor's dissent expressed deep concern, arguing it creates near-absolute presidential immunity, potentially leading to abuses of power. The ruling influences the delay in Donald Trump's 2020 election subversion case as courts discern which actions are protected. Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson joined Sotomayor, stressing the long-term impact on constitutional democracy. Chief Justice John Roberts defended the decision, emphasizing the necessity of presidential powers while cautioning against routine prosecutions of ex-presidents.
