Supreme Court issues ruling on January 6 Capitol rioters case

The Supreme Court on Friday made it harder to charge Capitol riot defendants with obstruction, a charge used in hundreds of prosecutions and also faced by former President Donald Trump.
The justices ruled 6-3 that the charge of obstructing an official proceeding, enacted in 2002 in response to the financial scandal that brought down Enron Corp., must include proof that defendants tried to tamper with or destroy documents. Only some of the people who violently attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, fall into that category. Read more: www.khou.com/article/news/nat...

Yes, the boxes of papers strewn on the floor and arranged for photographing BY the FBI. It's been determined that that action constituted evidence tampering. Trump had the right as President to have those documents whereas, Biden taking even more papers, did NOT have the right to have them. Biden and Pence still need to be prosecuted for their illegal behavior.

I'm writing you today brothers and sisters because I care about you and where you spend eternity. With so many lies going around about what you must do to be saved, I wanted to share the truth about Gods word with you and maybe give you a better perspective on the Gospel (Good news) well the bible says it is appointed to man to die once and then the judgment " yes there is going to be a judgment you see God is a holy God and in him is no darkness at all..the bible says we have violated Gods law (ten commandments) and are guilty of Hell and seperation from God for eternity this originally began in the garden of eden. Heres the Good news though, God loved you enough to send his only son into the world in the flesh to be crucified for our sins..yes that's right christ was sinless and bore our sins in his body, because without the shedding of blood there could be no remission of sin. So he was crucified on our behalf he was dead 3 days and then rose from the dead, victorious having defeated death, and now is seated at the right hand of God interceding on the behalf of the beilever. So that whoever repents of their sins and puts their faith and trust in Jesus christ as lord and savior, will be saved from the judgment of hell and will have everlasting life with God for eternity. Love u. Blessings my freinds the time is at hand;)

[@lesliehatun2044]

In the upcoming election, it's crucial to focus on the broader vision and values that each party represents. The Democrats, under Biden's leadership, emphasize safeguarding personal freedoms, ensuring social justice, and protecting the welfare of all citizens. This includes upholding the rights of women and the LGBTQ+ community, and ensuring robust support for the military, veterans, the disabled, and Social Security. Democrats advocate for policies that promote equality and economic fairness, resisting tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the wealthy at the expense of essential social programs. The Republican agenda, on the other hand, has been criticized for enacting policies that may restrict women's rights, undermine LGBTQ+ protections, and result in cuts to vital social services and benefits, all while providing significant tax breaks to the rich. This election is about much more than just winning debates. It's about choosing a path that aligns with the values of democracy, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness for all citizens. The Vice President, though not debating, embodies these principles and stands ready to articulate and defend these values effectively.
