Fischer v. United States and the 1st Amendment
Fischer v. United States and the 1st Amendment
April 16, 2024 the US Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Fischer v. United States. Despite what we are being told by the media this is a very important 1st Amendment case. It should be an easy 9-0 decision but with the current make up of the court and most of all law schools it is touch and go for another right supposedly protected by the Constitution - OUR rule book for government.
First let’s read the 1st in its entirety:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Let me be clear this Jan 6th protest got out of hand, were their government provocateurs? Sure but if you followed them maybe you should not have been so easily fooled and entrapped. Should the government agents encourage violent acts be provocateurs? NO and anyone in government participating should be charged with incitement/ entrapment etc… Was it an insurrection? NO! anybody thinking that is a complete idiot. An insurrection would include arms, and a concerted nationwide effort to take over government buildings. None of that happened. We have to stop being lead around by the nose like a prize hog at a 4h competition.
This case is not about the violence it is about the Federal Government now stretching to make all forms of opposition, protest illegal, all forms of even voice raising - real or perceived in a meeting that may delay a vote or further discussion.
We have seen this with the arrest and targeting of parents at school board meeting, county board and city council meetings and also abortion protestors. The corrupt DOJ has been weaponized against any and all opposition to our enslavement. The only redeeming thing Mitch McConnell has done his whole career is keep that corrupt US AG Merrick Garland off SCOTUS.
One has to wonder how long before government uses this type of law to silence all opposition.

Several justices also pressed Prelogar on another of Fischer’s arguments: If the court upheld the obstruction charge against Fischer, what stops the government from criminalizing protests or other activities?
In other words, if (c)(2) involves all other types of obstruction beyond evidence tampering, what are the guardrails against overuse?
“What does that mean for the breadth of this statute?” asked Justice Neil Gorsuch.
“Would a sit-in that disrupts a trial or access to a federal courthouse qualify? Would a heckler in today’s audience qualify, or at the State of the Union address? Would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify, and for 20 years in federal prison?” Gorsuch continued, specifically referring to when U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York pulled a fire alarm in September minutes before a vote to prevent a government shutdown. The congressman pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor the following month for falsely pulling a fire alarm.
Prelogar said “built-in limitations” in the law would prevent prosecution for “some minor disruption” or “minimal outburst.” Additionally, the prosecution would have to prove that the party “acted corruptly.”
What limitations? The governments prosecutors self imposed limits? This case alone points at how they will stretch, reach and read into a questionable law to press charges.
The limitations do not exist, the government lawyers know this, even if their were they’d file charges and let it play out in court costing the victim all kinds of lawyer fees, his reputation and job. This is why they load charges up like lights on a Christmas tree - the legal fees to really fight them are astronomical and win, loose or draw their goal is not justice but to break you financially and mentally. The government has unlimited funds to take you down. You what’s in your bank account and assets if any.
This loading of charges and stretching of words leads to plea bargains, which sets precedence which leads to more convictions because once precedence is set its used as a cudgel against all of us.
Their is a solution, WE hold ALL THE CARDS when we set on a jury. We not only determine guilt but whether the law is a just law. Once we decide a law is unjust we no longer have to decide guilt or innocence - the law is unjust and null and void. Sounds crazy but the fact is our justice system is based on the case of John Peter Zenger - which I cover here:

C-Span has recorded oral arguments available. It is a interesting recording - Some of these justices have such a lack of knowledge its simply amazing.
It is time we wake up to the fact our owners used to work in the background slowly enslaving us - now its a full on frontal assault. Its not just Trump, Jan 6ers its EVERY single one of us!
Thank you, Martin. If you (or anyone else) is interested in helping me bring more attention to what has happened to someone I've come to know as a friend, retired 20-year Special Forces Master Sergeant Jeremy Brown, I would appreciate it. June 26th will mark 1000 days that he has spent as a political prisoner after having been targeted by our government for being a whistleblower about FBI attempts to recruit him (prior to January 6) to spy on American patriot groups..
If you want to know what kind of a man it is I am asking you to invest some time in helping, the interview with him linked below is a good one. People need to understand that if they relate to and agree with the things that Jeremy Brown says in this video, then they are targets of our government, too.

And if you want to see the extent to which our corrupt government will go to try to lock away and silence whistleblowers, just read through Jeremy's appeals brief and the government's response. You can find those here:

The question we should be asking is why the hell our elected officials allow such blatant violations of constitutional rights to take place. Like many other political prisoners in our country, Jeremy has been set up and falsely accused. When the FBI raided his home, they shut off all 14 of his security cameras. Some of the evidence used against him in his trial was planted. Forensic analysis supports Jeremy’s claim that the grenades claimed to have been found on his property were not his. Items supposedly belonging to Brown had NO evidence which would tie them to him, but they did turn up DNA evidence of other males and also of animal hair, which was tested against Jeremy's dogs’ hair and was proven not to be a match. The fibers on the items seized also did not match any taken from the home of Jeremy Brown.
Those are just a few of the things in his case which are very concerning. The warrant used to raid his home in Florida was issued by a judge in D.C., where misdemeanor charges remain pending even today for allegations that Brown--who never entered our nation's capitol on January 6 and who, despite not having committed nor encouraged any violence that day--was trespassing and engaging in disorderly and disruptive conduct. The search of Brown's property, which occurred almost nine months after January 6, was justified by our government as being a necessary part of an investigation of domestic terrorism. (Of course!) The warrant used to search his home was a blatant Fourth Amendment violation, for nowhere in the warrant was it ever indicated WHAT the FBI agents were there to search for and seize.
Brown is now serving time for charges related to items that were seized during that unconstitutional search of his property. Despite claiming he had no knowledge of the grenades AND despite the forensic evidence fully supporting Brown's denial that the grenades were not his--his silence during a recorded jail phone call with his girlfriend when she listed items that had reportedly been seized from their property was used against him as evidence of his guilt. "That silence is a confession," argued the Government. Let that sink in.
Included among the items seized (and for which Brown is now serving time) was an unregistered short-barrel rifle and an unregistered short-barrel shotgun. The crime Brown committed in having these guns in his possession is that he had failed to register them and pay for the required tax stamp. If we had representatives in government who weren't lazy and self-serving and who were worth a damn, they would be advocating for Jeremy Brown, for in doing so, they would be advocating for the rights of all Americans. Don’t think that what happened to Jeremy Brown cannot happen to any of us. There are murderers and rapists in our country who have spent less time behind bars. A man whose twenty years of service to our nation has been repaid with 950 days (today) behind bars at the hands of the very nation he devoted his life in service to.
I saw that Tucker Carlson recently gave an interview to the founder of Telegram, a Russian who said that when he and a senior engineer that worked for him were in the United States, the engineer was approached by the FBI and asked to install a backdoor into Telegram so that users could be surveilled. I would like to think that Tucker would also take an interest in helping to get the word out about Jeremy Brown, an American citizen who deserves justice every bit as much as more well-known whistleblowers like Julian Assange do. If you would like to help me in reaching out to request that Tucker report on Jeremy’s story, you can email the Tucker Carlson Network at tips@TCNetwork.com. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can bring to this story, because if we say nothing and do nothing when it happens to others, then who will be there to come to our own aid when these injustices arrive on our own doorstep.
Numerous interviews with Jeremy, from both before and after he became a political prisoner (including his recording of the FBI attempting to recruit him), can be found on the jeremybrowndefense.com website, and anyone interested in donating to help Jeremy can do so here -- https://www.givesendgo.com/jeremybrowndefense. But more than donations, what would help the most is to share his story and amplify his voice, which our government has gone to great lengths to silence. If we don't speak up to defend those who are willing to put themselves on the front line in the fight, we will find that we ourselves are the next direct targets.
