This will be an important case. If SCOTUS throws out application of obstruction to Jan6, those who PLANNED to obstruct vote certification could only face misdemeanors, whereas those who got caught up, could face civil disorder charges. #legal

After years of dodging and weaving about the gravity of #Jan6 , #SCOTUS seems likely to grapple with the subject as it considers whether an obstruction charge used against hundreds of rioters was misapplied.
