The U.S. Supreme Court is currently hearing a significant case that could potentially invalidate the felony obstruction charges against over 300 individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, including former President Donald Trump. The court is deliberating whether the act of obstructing an official proceeding, which is the charge faced by Trump and many rioters, can legally apply to the events of that day. This case marks the first time the Supreme Court is directly addressing the charges related to the Capitol breach, as it assesses the legitimacy of using the federal obstruction law in this context. The decision could have profound implications not only for the accused individuals but also for future applications of the obstruction statute.
