Yeah, that seems weird. Any election denying MOC seems like exactly the type of person who would NOT be giving up their seat voluntarily. Maybe these jerkoffs already think they’ve been elected for life.
Unfortunately, Cannon is plenty devious. If this is the case, I predict she’ll modify his release conditions such that it’s a distinction without a difference, and just enough to prevent an appeal from going forward. Though I hope to be wrong.
You might be right but my guess is the court is going to slow walk the January 6 decision on immunity past the election. It will be the last case decided this term.
“Because of the vagaries of the Electoral Count Act of 1887 this court finds that contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election does indeed fall under the definition of an “official duty” of the office of president… but it’s all been cleaned up by the Electoral Count Act of 2022, so not anymore.” Sam Alito

“There are days that I’ve come to my office after an announcement of a case and closed my door and cried,” the liberal U.S. Supreme Court justice said.
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayorrevealed that sometimes she is brought to tears by the outcomes of U.S. Supreme Court decisions. The liberal justice spoke to students at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University on Friday, where she talked about the emotional response she has to her work, according to CNN. “There are days that I’ve come to my office after an announcement of a case and closed my door and cried,” she said, adding that there are likely to be more days like this to come.“There are moments when I’m deeply, deeply sad. And there are moments when, yes, even I feel desperation. We all do. But you have to own it. You have to accept it. You have to shed the tears, and then you have to wipe them and get up and fight some more,” she said. Earlier this week, Sotomayor joined Justice Elena Kagan’s dissenting opinion in a redistricting case, in which the conservative majority ruled 6-3 in favor of a pro-Republican congressional map in South Carolina, a ruling which will make it significantly easier for racial gerrymandering in the state.
