"Supreme Court's Review of January 6 Charges Ignites Legal Debate"

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's questioning of obstruction charges brought against a January 6 defendant has sparked fury on social media, with conservative justices signaling a potential upending of criminal charges related to the Capitol riot. Kavanaugh and other conservative justices expressed concerns about the broad application of the anti-obstruction provision and questioned the necessity of the charge given the other counts brought against the defendant. The Biden administration argued that the obstruction charge was warranted due to the defendant's intent to impede Congress and assault law enforcement officers. The criticism on social media focused on the justices' role in deciding charges and the perceived leniency towards the defendant. A decision in the case is expected by late June.
