How to listen: Supreme Court takes up Jan. 6 appeal [Video]

WASHINGTON — On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments to determine whether the Justice Department overreached when it used a post-Enron law to charge hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants with a felony for obstructing the certification of the 2020 election.

The case, titled Joseph W. Fischer v. United States, centers on the obstruction of an official proceeding charge used in more than 330 Capitol riot cases. Those include some of the government’s largest and most complex prosecutions related to the riot, including the seditious conspiracy cases against members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, as well as dozens of cases involving violent assaults on police.

Arguments are set to begin at 10 a.m. Eastern. Below, find more information about how to listen and what the case is about.
