“To me, the #flag issue is much simpler. The fact is that, regardless of its legality, displaying the flag in that way, at that time, shouldn’t have happened. To put it bluntly, any #judge w/reasonable #ethical instincts would have realized immediately that flying the flag then & in that way was improper. And dumb.”

It doesn’t matter what they decide. DT’s already won by getting everything delayed and a stay on the other trials. His lawyers even said as much in a #RollingStone article.

#SCOTUS Justice Samuel A. #Alito Jr., in suggesting that the #obstruction charge is being read too broadly & covers normal political protest, proposed thinking specifically about a demonstration inside the building where the argument was taking place.

“For all the protests that have occurred in this court, the Justice Department has not charged any serious offenses,” he said.
