You do not mention that the police allowed these people in, you do not mention that there were no weapons, you do not mention that they were expressing their first amendment rights, there were some bad apples and not thousands that broke the law. You do not mention that there were secret Federal officers in the protest that encouraged people into the capital. You do not mention that many protestors have spent three years in prison for a misdemeanor. The DOJ is corrupt.
They’re discussing the charge used to convict. Not the actual event. They are establishing what the law means as a whole.
The law was created bc a law firm was destroying evidence during a trial as the trial matured. Unbelievably, it was not against the law at the time. The attorneys for Enron used the loophole. Right after, congress drew up this bill.
Hope that helps a little. This will get deleted, of course.
I am baffled at how this woman is on the Supreme Court, or any court at that.

You're "baffled" on the science of say--aviation, just like you're "baffled" by the relevancy of quantum theory or The Theory of Relativity, so don't be down on yourself for being obtuse on the legal erudition of one of our most conversant Jurist.
You as my fellow American, I sincerely appreciate the yellow lines you have been painting on our highways and roadways.
So maybe you should just stay in your lane and leave jurisprudence to those in that lane.

Is it not concerning that a judge doesnt know what the word evidence means?... or woman?
Not really, when one considers that words CAN BE and indeed ARE used in different CONTEXTS to mean different things.

@@jonathansegraves8623So being a woman is base on context, really? I can't think of a situation where that would be true. Regardless of context, being a woman is simply a binary (XX) fact, and arguments to the contrary are just trying to rationalize around that simple fact. You can certainly use the word "woman" in different contexts, but that doesn't change the definition of a woman (a person).
Are illegal documents in joes garage not evidence? Please explain
I guess your ignorant of the fact that Joe is the one that told the DOJ he had them. Didn't try to hide them, didn't say it was his right to have them, didn't try to keep them or have his attorney throw them away to cover up the fact that he did have them. Same for Mike Pence.

@@chrishoyt0917 How is that difference from the rest of the people who sit on the Supreme Court?
She is ignoring "otherwise" and focusing on "evidence", which is covered under "otherwise". I mean....if you are in trial, evidence is needed, regarded of it's composition. She is doing her usual word salad to obfuscate.
She's asking the attorney to cut the malarkey with theory and conjecture with word salad of his own which is " otherwise:, "if"," but" , "if I may judge," "wait now if you hold it this way upside down", etc. ad nauseam. What entity has the final say so on WHAT THE EVIDENCE IS ? Just because I say that an object is a dog, does that make the object a dog ? Or is it really a cat ? I say tomato you say toMAto. I say potato you say poTAto. Let's call the whole thing off. Which came first the chicken or the egg ?
@@jonathansegraves8623 i hope you are a bot.
@@jonathansegraves8623 The judge is ignoring the very clear "otherwise" as if it wasn't there. Consider this: why did they explicitly use the word "otherwise" when Jackson’s interpretation would work just as well if the "otherwise" wasn't there? In all of the other clauses that are dependent only on their parent, independent of their siblings, do any of those lead with a "otherwise"? An "otherwise" is meaningful, implicitly means that it follows from the clause above. It's actually rather amusing to see you trying to deflect from that words, especially in law, have meaning.
If you want to baffle Justice Brown, ask her to define what is a woman...

Snappy title their Forbes, totally convinced me that the emperors new clothes are slick and fashionable!
*there
Your intelligence is showing
Really nice selective editing of audio. Bigger picture- the DOJ is using a single vague line in the middle of an evidence law that is dependant on the lines before it... to totally rewrite the entire law. If that line means what the DOJ claims, then any protest (1st ammendment protected) can be charged!
This was an Enron law preventing the destruction of all sorts of materials that would be used as "evidence".
Simple put- if the sentence gives the DOJ the broad charging rights they claim, then but the rest of the law and the 1st amendment is eclipsed! Complete legal nonsense..
It doesn't "totally rewrite the law", it just takes a single clause out of context, several layers deep, to apply at a wider scope than the initial context seemingly suggested. And no, it wouldn't apply to "any protest", it would have to materially disrupt an official federal government proceeding. And it's not "an Enron law", it's a law that was instituted in light of what happened with evidence tampering in the Enron case but it's applicable at large. No, it doesn't eclipse the 1st amendment, not unless that free speech actually somehow disrupts an official proceeding. Having said that, I'm on your side.
Quite frankly, there really should be some kind of law making it simply illegal to obstruct an official proceeding outright (as is relevant here,) but I am also becoming increasingly convinced that this law does not apply to that situation… and thus there *may* be no such law. Seems like a pretty big loophole in how our government functions, and that should probably be addressed.
The bigger problem is that what ever law they pass and interpretation they agree on will not apply to anyone doing the bidding of the Uniparty...
Wow, who would have thought that evidence had any bearing on a trial ? Is this REALLY a Supreme Court Justice ...???
What on earth are you blabbing on about? It seems like you have zero understanding of what’s happening in this audio.
Thank dei for that
A token judge says what?
The issue is that the law doesn't explicitly say evidence, as in doesn't explicitly say that it's directly related to a trial, as in can be applied more broadly to any government proceeding. Not that I agree with her.
This lawyer sounds idiotic.
The DEI justice can't even define what a female is. So, no doubt she's totally perplexed by the legal definition of what evidence is, as well. Another poster child for why
Didn't

Seriously. There a very strong arguments for his position. However he does not do them justice. They may have found the most inept lawyer possible to make a very important case.
He's a poor speaker to be sure, but his argument is solid. And, frankly, while Jackson speaks with more confidence, her analysis sounds idiotic. Like she doesn't understand what the word "otherwise" means in it's application in context within the hierarchy of a legal document.
Can’t even describe a female. Thanks Joey

I thought the Supreme Court already ruled it wasn’t an insurrection?
The Supreme Court ruled that states cannot remove a candidate from the ballot, while claiming insurrection in the way this was done. They did not rule on the potential insurrection itself.

@@bellowingsilence so basically you are still believing that a group of unarmed people tried overthrowing the most armed Country in the World.
@@TruthMan1963 no, that is not implied at all. The case itself was not on whether or not anyone committed insurrection. The case was about whether states had the authority to make those decisions as it applied via the constitution… especially in that instance. Or hell, whether a state could make such a decision without a trial even ruling insurrection [or actions that would be considered that, since even definitively calling something insurrection is in one hell of a murky little legal pond] occurred, which is also relevant in that situation.

I would think things like jury tampering would fall under c2.
The law is pretty whack. Having it titled "Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant" is problematic for both sides. Obstructing the election certification does none of those things, but how does shredding your own incriminating evidence either? Does jury tampering? And so the hierarchy of the document, or the context, is intrinsically flawed to begin with. And use of that word "corruptly" is just brutal.
Claiming you have evidence with out actual evidence is not evidence 😂

@donfarrington3240 so what evidence do you have child?
It doesn't have to necessarily be evidence. It could be, say, the pulling of a fire alarm to delay offical proceedings.
This cannot be real? Forest Gump would be a better Justice.
If that is the case, then Forrest Gump should have been our 45th president.
So much lies & corruption on ALL sides . Even misuse of words like mobs, attacks, etc .
Ummm yeah the justice keeps using the word "evidence" because it's in the section about witness tampering and every single time it's been applied in the past is in relation to tampering with evidence in a trial. This is literally the first time that it's been applied relative to any government proceeding at large. This application gives the government the power to imprison anyone who disrupts absolutely any government proceeding in any way up to 20 years.
None of these people are guilty and should sue the government pants off.
Remember this Justice doesn't even know what a woman is!
The argument between the two sections is irrelevant, the statute is about destruction of records, it’s the sole reason the legislation was even passed in the first place if you read the full text. They are arguing over 1 line quoted out of context and against the original meaning of the legislation.

@@lurker616Yes some people are sheep like the people who thought her nomination was a good idea!
The DEI supreme court judge who could not define what a woman was as she was not a biologist cant understand a legal argument because she is not a lawyer either despite getting a law degree as an affirmative action student.
Ketanji "I am not a biologist" Jackson... The fact that she is on the SC is insane.
Very few people commenting here understand the legalese spoken here (myself included).
Glad Forbes is releasing these kinds of clips for transparency, but most of us need to interpretation and context in order to make sense of the arguments.
This is why I like this channel. You actually get the source of the clip without clickbait that gives actual information.
Yeah. Everybody in the comments seems to think she doesn’t know what evidence is, but rather they’re discussing a law around obstructing an official proceeding and the lawyer is trying to limit that definition to a trial setting and to obstructing evidence. But that’s not what the law says and she is nailing him on that. His arguments are weak and he’s getting destroyed in this clip by Justice Jackson. But all these commenters think she sounds dumb because they cannot grasp the faintest outline of what’s happening in the clip.
It’s not that deep , the I hate Trump and all those that agree with him MUST be stopped at any and all costs…..
forbes is cherry-picking these clips to paint a picture. If you listen to the complete exchange the defense's position is much more clear. For example. while he DOES use the word "evidence" when that word is not present in the law itself, his inference is more clear when you get the full context of the exchange.

Well, your answer could either be correct or wrong, and you had 50-50 chance of getting it right, but the answer is wrong.
Improvement nonetheless.
Did he us the word "evidence" or was he answering questions of hypotheticals where the object happened to be evidence?
He did indeed use the word "evidence" where the law in question does not use that word.

Say the word "woman" over and over. It confuses the hell out of her.

Because she doesn't know what the word " Evidence" means.
I think you have zero idea what’s happening in the audio. Your ignorance is showing
@allenbower1431 do you not consider records or documents as pieces of evidence?
She knows that the word means, the issue is that the word "evidence" is not in the law itself, which is why they argue that it is not limited to court cases in application.
@@madjiofcimmeria watch it again. Listen. And try to grasp what’s actually being discussed.
I’m feeling generous. So I’ll help.
They’re discussing the chafe of obstruction. The lawyer is arguing that you can only obstruct congress by altering, withholding, or destroying evidence. Justice Jackson is correctly pointing out that you can obstruct in ways that have nothing to do with evidence. Like, say, storming the Capitol building and forcing Congress to stop work and go into hiding. That would be obstruction and have nothing to do with altering or destroying evidence.
The only reason evidence is being discussed is because the lawyers wants to fundamentally alter the law because their clients are cooked.
Has she figured out what a woman is yet.?
There was no insurrection
But there are Americans incarcerated in political persecution under the disguise of insurectionist (that did not occur) charges
I know that the "evidence" depends upon what your definition of is, is.
And, What exactly is a brown woman Justice. anyway?
And now, after listening to KBJ for 3 minutes and 31 seconds, I’m confident that I’ve lost 750K brain cells and I’m walking around dumber for the rest of my life!
Then show evidence that is what happened. You cannot just throw that out there without any proof.
