yesterday the Supreme Court heard oral arguments for Fisher versus the United States, where Joseph W Fisher was charged

under the Act passed following the Enron Corporate Accounting scandal in 2001.

Only Fisher is not a corporate accountant. He's being charged for his

presence at Trump's rally on January 6th, 2021. District Judge Nichols of Washington. said the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was applied much too broadly.

So with respect to the protest outside the court house,

we'd have to show that yes, they were aiming at the proceeding. Yeah, they were trying to stop the proceeding yes and then we'd also have to be able to prove that they acted corruptly

I guess what I would say is that to the extent that your hypotheticals are pressing on the idea of a peaceful protest, even one that's quite disruptive.

It's not clear to me that the government would be able to show that each of those protesters

have a corrupt protest that actually obstructs and impedes an official proceeding for an indefinite period

would not be covered?

Not necessarily, we would just have to have the evidence of intent and that's a high

argument.

They intend to do it all right.

Though we likely won't know the decision before June,

it will have major implications,

both for the over 300 charged with crimes related to the Sox Act as well as for President Donald Trump.
