DC Circuit bail case that has impact on folks charged for attacking Capitol. I looked at it and I think it makes it worse for the people charged. Rather than releasing some may result in others being confined. Link –
Here’s a link to the Ninth Circuit case on open carry and the 2nd Amendment. It’s 215 pages and a treasure trove of historic gun control going back centuries. @NRA
I think this is the DC United States District Court’s local rule that may change Michael Sherwin’s life. 57.7. I would not be surprised if he sees an order to show cause. Arguably he violated Rule 6(e) and could be looking at 18 months.
DC US Attorney moves to jail alleged Proud Boys January 6 conspiracy leaders on charges that qualify as “a federal crime of terrorism.” Link to the motion. @USAO_DC @maddowblog
Pages 3 and 4 of 11:
The United States moves for detention pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3142(e)(3)(C), which
provides a rebuttable presumption in favor of detention for an enumerated list of crimes, including
Destruction of Property in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1361. The United States also seeks detention
pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f)(1)(A), because Destruction of Property, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
§ 1361, is a crime of violence. Moreover, when Destruction of Property is “calculated to influence
or affect the conduct of government by intimidation or coercion,” it also qualifies as a federal
crime of terrorism. See 18 U.S.C. § 2332b(g)(5)(B).
