The Supreme Court ruled Friday that the Justice Department improperly charged some of the people who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, a decision that could affect hundreds of cases—and potentially help former President Donald Trump.
The court said a Pennsylvania man who entered the Capitol building during the riot may have been improperly charged under an Enron-era obstruction of justice statute enacted in 2002 that makes it a crime to impede certain government proceedings.

WSJ: Supreme Court Expands Cities’ Power to Remove Homeless Camps
Justices reject claim that penalizing people with nowhere else to sleep is unconstitutionally cruel
Supreme Court Expands Cities’ Power to Remove Homeless Camps - WSJ
The Supreme Court loosened the restraints on city officials confronting homeless encampments, overturning a lower court that found it unconstitutional to penalize people for sleeping in public when they have nowhere else to stay.
Writing for the court, Justice Neil Gorsuch said the Eighth Amendment ban on cruel and unusual punishments, which a lower court invoked to strike down the city’s ordinance, had no role to play in limiting government responses to homelessness.
“Homelessness is complex. Its causes are many. So may be the public policy responses required to address it,” Gorsuch wrote, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.
