Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch recently criticized the Justice Department's application of a financial crimes statute used to prosecute January 6 rioters, questioning the consistency of its use. He highlighted instances such as pulling a fire alarm to delay a congressional vote, referencing an action by Democrat Jamaal Bowman, and compared it to other similar disruptions like sit-ins at Kavanaugh protests that did not result in severe penalties like the 20-year sentences faced by some involved in the January 6 events. Gorsuch's remarks were supported by Justice Samuel Alito, who also questioned the selective prosecution of protesters.
