The Biden panic distracted from it, but the SCOTUS decision on the January 6 defendants matters.

The legal impact will be slight. But the political impact could be huge.

MAGA will read it as a license to commit domestic terrorism.

(Not an invite to discuss the Biden story. I may have more later, but this is about the court.)

Why to read past headlines: I defer to experts on legal analysis. My value-add is how MAGA is already reading this as a "go" signal for violence.
