US Supreme Court Ponders Release & Shortened Sentences of 890 Jan. 6 Capitol Insurrectionists

Updated: Jan 26


STATE & NATIONAL: This week, there appears to be an element of differentiation in the manner by which members ofthe US Supreme Court perceives the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. It is, however, wuite impossible, while the tge actions committed by thousands of people engaging in a revolt, anarchy, an attack, and riot steeped in violence and resulting in the deaths of 3 people might have been fistiuished from the effects of an "insurrection" when the attack's theme was blatantly stated as bein 'the prevention of the President -elect , Joe Biden, confirmation.'

"[C]aucusgoers told pollsters that Trump would not be “fit” for the presidency if he is convicted of a crime — a sizable defection that, if it held, would likely doom Trump’s general election chances."--


Today, while the statement made by mobsters who stormed the US Capitol building and were deliberate about doing so during the time that the matter of a Congressional act of protocol was being conducted, the US Supreme Court, however, perceives these actions ; they so lightheartedly refer to, as a mere 'riot' The distinction being made in term reference --that expressed by SCOTUS as a "riot" -- lands on the ear and thoughts baring defeatist intent. The defeat appears to, once again, be aimed at the sovereignty ofthe US federal government.


This week, there were comments made by a former U.S. Drpartment of Justice federal prosecutor, Ankush Khardori who spoke in review of tge January 6 case brought against former President Donald Trump. Khartoum stated, Trump May not be perceived by many, including Republicans, as being suitable for serving as President.


The perception of Trump's questioned suitability for US President is a direct reflection of the dissenting perception of the January 6 insurrection which, by any court shoukd be examined by the merit of violations. On that scale, more than a few hundred of the January 6 Capitol insurrectionist have been charged, prosecuted and convicted. By the same token, if no crime had been committed by the Capitol attacker who stormed the building 'for the sole purpose of interrupting routine Congresdional business on January 6, then

there could not have been a single conviction. While, however, there have been 890 convictions based on the criminal actions committed by thousands of insurrectionists who, on January 6, stormed the US Capitol for the purpose of preventing the confirmation of the US Presidentvrlect, then, it is certain thst an insurrection - violent uprising against an authority or government-- was , without any possibility of denial, committed on January 6, 2021 whike "Make America Great Again"/"Trump" banners, yet waved.


This week, the largely Republican seated SCOTUS has made headway in its plan to suspend several of the cases and sentences of a number of insurrectionists;- seemingly lining up along a bias pattern of reference and, albeit, the effects of final judgements involving the January 6 insurrectionists--those the US Supreme Court refers to as rioters,. If the Supreme Court succeeds, their plan appears to , also, exonerate Trump.


Following the courts decision to hear the case ; "In Fisher v. United States, 80 U.S.App. D.C. 98, 149 F. 2d 28 (1945)...", the court "...upheld the trial court's refusal to instruct the jury to "consider the entire personality of the defendant, his mental, nervous, emotional and physical characteristics as developed by the evidence of this case ...," lawyers for insurrectionists filed appeals and petitioned for suspended sentencing of the defendants.


Today, tge US Supreme Court has seriously condidered the reduced sentencing and the possible exoneration of insurrectionist--people, including Americans, who committed the act of a violent uprising against an authority or government an act of violence committed against hundreds of members ofthe US Congress and the US Senate as threats were , also, made by insurrectionists stating an intent to hang , then, Vice President , Mike Pence and to bring about violent action against, then, US House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi ,--a final on tge US Supreme Court has threatened Americans given their intent to absolve of all crimes committed, including the deaths ofv3 people, violators of the US federal government .


If, in the course of any possible examination of the intent and 890 insurrectionists convictions are overturned or even reduced -- particularly if based upon the merits of tge Fischer v United States trial in which the call to violence had been ordered as the weapon used against the victims-- oh wait-- no, the actual case involving Fischer v United Ststes was a 1945 trial in which a woman's murderer hrld her at bey while he retrieved a stick from a fireplace, as his weapon used against her and, also, knifed the victim. Today, with tge FIischer v United States t case as it's precedent, tge attorneys for 800 defendant's have petitioned the US Supremr Court for mercy while taking into consideration the state ofthe minds ofthe insurrectionists.


In any instance THST SCOTUS exonerates either of tge 890 -- among tge 1200 charged-- there may be a need to condidered. not only whether Trump is "..unfit.." to,serve as US President, as stated by tge former US Prisecutor, Khartoum, it may be necessary to question whether Justice is, in this case, deemed unsuitable.
