Supreme Court exposes Biden’s selective prosecution of political opponents

[Valletta]

Likely because Bowman admitted to his guilt and didn't try to contest the charges. As a prime example, if Trump had been willing to turn over all his documents to NARA, there would have been no charges (just like Pence). If he had been willing to turn his documents over to the DoJ, before they felt they needed to get a search warrant, again, I doubt there would have been charges. Even after the search warrant and the DoJ indicted Trump, I'm sure he could have settled for lesser charges if he'd admitted guilt and turned over the remainder of documents that he had (if he had any left to turn over).

It tends to be how our justice system works; if you are willing to admit the fault, you get a lesser charge and lesser sentence. If you don't, the prosecutor tends to charge you with the most serious charges possible and push for the maximum sentence if convicted.

With Trump the statute of limitations had run out on a possible misdemeanor charge. Ours is what is now known as a "two-tiered" justice system.

Which to believe. That after Trump appointed a record number of judges the Democrats managed to corrupt the judiciary in three years or... You are spouting partisan hackery in order to excuse a president who has made history for his actions that potentially broke multiple laws. A president who has been in court all through his life.

Hiding behind the statute of limitations makes it sound like an episode of Superman I saw, way back 60 years ago.

So I show all the ways you've claimed prove that and, when I shoot them all down, you just restate your claim with no actual evidence. The fact remains that the evidence doesn't support your claim, particularly since you have politicians that are Democrat that are likely to lose their political office in the Senate and Congress after the next election because of investigations and indictments by the Biden DoJ.

Those little guys that lived deep underground and came up with a weapon were scary.

Today's winner.

“Would a sit-in that disrupts a trial or access to a federal courthouse qualify [as illegal obstruction]?” Gorsuch asked Biden’s solicitor general, Elizabeth Prelogar. “Would a heckler at today’s audience qualify or a heckler at the State of the Union address? Would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify for 20 years in federal prison?”
Progressive Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) used the fire alarm stunt before a key spending vote last Sept. 30 and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge carrying negligible penalties, but he bragged about not being charged for obstructing House proceedings even though that’s what he had obviously done when the alarm forced an evacuation.

Supreme Court exposes Biden’s selective prosecution of political opponents - Washington Examiner

In oral argument on a Capitol riot case, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Sam Alito exposed the Biden administration's double standards in prosecuting protesters

www.washingtonexaminer.com

Bowman BRAGGED about not being charged. The double standard is clear, and the violations of our Constitution need to stop.

What does the title of this thread got to do with the Original Post?
I don't get it.

Is Biden a prosecutor that gets to choose what cases to prosecute?
Is Biden a judge that gets to determine what sentence people are given?

I'm thankful our style of government still has checks and balances. That "illegal obstruction" is too broad.

"More than 300, of nearly 1,400 total, other Jan. 6 defendants also have been charged with violating 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c). The two justices were puzzled by inconsistencies with which President Joe Biden’s appointees apply the law and with the wide scope they claim for it against disfavored defendants. Contrarily, when people on the Left, even including members of Congress, disrupt government proceedings, including by use of force, Biden and his officials look the other way."

Which is worse
a) storming the capital in a mob of thousands, breaking through barriers, smashing windows and doors, physically assulting police officers chanting threats to hang the vice president, seeing out the speaker of the house, and attempting to stop the peaceful transfer of power to the newly elected president.
Vs
b) a single person pressing the fire alarm button.

“Biden bad”; that’s it.

They're doing the best they can, given how outside the norm right wing thought has devolved to.

Now, now…cognitive dissonance is very motivating, but the results are mixed as to outcomes.

Well, no. Biden can't do any of those things as president. But the usual right-wing game is to accuse others of the things they do or would do if they could:

Yes, I agree. and his MAGA base who hit the internet complaining endlessly and baselessly about Biden, are all OK with Trump doing anything and everything to gain power. Laws don't matter, constitution doesn't matter, elections don't matter, as long as Trump gets to be their illustrious leader.

I'm sure that the Supreme Court is nicely stacked to the Conservative interpretation of law. The funny thing is that they would not allow Obama to make any appointments to the court because he was only going to be President for one more year and there wasn't enough time to do it but former President Trump got it done in 3 months.

As clear a case of “separate but equal” as one could ever find!
