You are really an important voice this period because we will be bombarded by a lot of gaslighting. God bless you Glenn.
Glenn's analysis of this SCOTUS ruling is satisfyingly educational. Thank you Glenn.
Glenn Greenwald is the champ
Thanks Glenn for your excellent and fair-minded reporting. I don't support either dominant political party in the U.S. -- both gawd awful -- but was disturbed by the wildly excessive sentencing directed at non-violent protestors on Jan. 6th.
Ironically, the sentencing of these protestors was far more punitive than the Chinese courts were for the leaders of violent protests in the Hong Kong "pro-democracy" riots. Since China is supposedly the "authoritarian" government and the U.S. a "democracy" with First Amendment rights , it was mind-blowing to compare the leniency of China versus the U.S. Federal courts.
Another irony is that Pelosi and the U.S. Congress were gleefully supportive of the Hong Kong rioters, while condemning Jan. 6th as an attempted coup.
Those thrown into solitary confinement may have grounds to sue the government.
Funny how this corrupt Marxist Govt refuses to admit that the Government "processes" are the torture. They held J6th political prisoners for three weeks in a holding cell numerous times to move them across DC to another jail for no reason.
I am pretty sure they are financially wiped out by now.
@@snewsom2997 If Trump gets in he can direct the DOJ to pay them damages. Do you ever wonder why so many cities have been quick to shell out millions to "victims" on one side of the aisle?
…the damage is already done, Matthew Perna, can’t be bring back to life 😢. Much love to his loved ones ❤️!
New management could settle with them. (figuring out how to reply without getting insta-deleted by HAL is tricky)
Using a law to prosecute people that was never designed for that specific purpose is indeed overreach.
This is exactly what this law was intended to prevent. These people flooded the capital with the intention of preventing the lawful counting of electoral votes. The court got this wrong and it's time that something be done about it. The justices that vote for this ought to be impeached and removed from office, although that's not going to happen with the GOP having enough votes to prevent that. The next best thing would be to expand and pack the court.
But, really what this shows is just what a failure Obama was as a President that he didn't lean on RBG to resign and didn't make the GOP pay a price for not confirming his nominees.
Releasing the Jan 6th protesters and jailing Steve Bannon just days before the 4th of July is like something out of a movie.
Also, fuck UA-cam for putting a context banner on this video.
thank you!❤
Won't let me text anything.
You think Steve Bannon should be able to stick two fingers up at Congress? Could you or others do that? He was already pardoned by trump for ripping off maga fans which was worse imo
The context banner is Gestapo all the way.
The banner just lets you know you will be hearing the truth.
The "committee" that destroyed their evidence is all I need to know about the guilt of the J6ers.
Didn't they change some definitions too?
@@anomilumiimulimona2924 Yes, I believe you are right.
All should be charged as INTENTIONAL…
Jamal Bowman disrupted an official proceeding by pulling a fire alarm
It's (D)ifferent
@@conrad792 why? he tried to prevent a vote from taking place? isn't that what they charged Jan 6th with?
yeah but trump was mean so its okay because....ummm...."logic"? I guess?...not really sure.
That is a fact. Something the TDS crowd has little use for.
And he probably committed a local or state crime falsely pulling a fire alarm in an occupied building.
All these prosecutors and judges and FBI Agents should be jailed for the rest of their lives
Incredibly powerful statement backed up by facts and brimming with evidence
Any problems with federal agencies stem from the top. The overwhelming everyday grunts are just following orders and for the most part remain apolitical. I’ve known some and worked within the federal government
@@johntobin3235 Not true. All the three letter agencies have grow out of cotnrol. Your view was likely mostly true in the 90's. Today it's mostly false. Just following orders didn't exempt concentration camp guards from the gallows and nor should it now.
Revoke citizenship from the Marxist horde. They can then choose whichever Socialist shitehole they want to call home.
All federal civilian employees swear an oath to support and defend the constitution. The oath does not include loyalty to men and agencies.
These flags from Wikipedia on UA-cam make me want to ask “who controls Wikipedia?” Who has designated this site as a source of truth?
The left. And the left.
Whenever you see one those warnings you know they are trying to push lies
I believe Google runs it now
Thanks for doing real journalism Glenn!!
The Law is not blind, it has been blindfolded.
They should sue the prosecution and agents for wrongful imprisonment. These people absolutely should have known better.
As individuals. I do not want to pay for these shtheads.
@@OldJoeBlows Get the settlement from what Pelosi and Jack Smith owns. There's plent there, believe me.
They DID KNOW BETTER. It was SET UP AND INTENTIONAL.
@@terriaustill2211 They also don't care about law and order.

Make peaceful assembly and protest GREAT AGAIN.
With emphasis on 'peaceful' of course.
UA-cam censors comments.
Yes it does.
Every damn day!!!
Often at the behest of the government.
I don't even gaf anymore. They ground me for 24 hrs on comments and I just save all posts I want to comment on and let em rip the moment I'm ungrounded FYT and FJB and her husband. The DNC is actually a Confederacy holdout that should have been decommissioned after the civil war they started. Reformation act mandates.
Finding channels where I can get actual information is hard now a days happy to find this channel

I can say a fantastic integer source wouldn't want to miss it.

@@DeleriousOdyssey that is how I came across this page
Glenn- you rock. Thanks for diving below the surface and educating us.
Principles before ideology.
Thank you Mr. Greenwald. You make things very clear.
Love from Louisiana 💖🤗🇺🇸
Congrats; you earned a context box.
oh wow really? I blocked that context box since covid. I almost forgot it existed.
It's funny now the Jan.6 people have already been dragged through the mud And the punishment has already been committed against them. Now they're starting to back pedal. The Reason why is because the goal has Has already been accomplished. Now they can roll back So it couldn't be done to their people.
Makes sense
So accurate
They deserved what they got. The statute is quite clear that what they did was a violation of the law and not covered under 1st amendment protections. The court has, once again, chosen to be ignorant of what the law and constitution say when it's convenient.
100%
@@SmallSpoonBrigadeik, its against the law to be let in by police and be escorted around like your on tour.
How stupid of them, they should have known.
Forget lawsuits - PERSONAL CLAIMS of damage need to made under common law, against the commercial bonds of EVERY man or woman involved in the jailing of the innocent. That's the only way to get at them in real life.
Or assignations
@@jamesvicker65 Not right.
That is soooo wrong to think that way.
@@willardlentz3044 why do you feel that way. If one of my family or myself was a ,j6er and life ruined. I think that would be justified. Maybe no in the eyes of the court. In the eye of society. Old testament baby
Tell still have not prosecuted the Cop who murdered an unarmed Woman
He was absolved of any wrongdoing…..LOL.
@@yolandascholten2012 Your glee at her death is unnerving.
@@sprsmoke I answered the question….the cop wasn’t prosecuted, he was absolved of any wrong doing. That’s NOT glee, that’s a fact!!
Wont ever happen.
He was one of Pelosie's soldiers
Thanks for accurately reporting the truth. It is sometimes not easy to find in the US.
I salute Brown Jackson and her decision. Now what about Ray Epps who was obviously urging people to go forward on many videos but never charged. One of the government plants.
He's in Brazil 😅
@@snuffle2269But I'm sure the other 99.9% of the time you're bashing her like Greenwald does
I love and look forward to your breaking down the news.
RIP Matthew Pernas. So sorry you are not here to be exonerated.
shame on the prosecutors. They should know better. Their job is to not put people in jail. It’s to get justice.
They DO know better, which tells you a lot about their moral/ethical compass.
It is all about their ideology and score card
Glen, thank you for being a reliable source of analysis amid a sea of propaganda.
I wouldn't say they weren't all peaceful, but most were non-violent, not to mention the law they were using doesn't even apply to this circumstance.
I'm amazed at how professional and transparent Glenn's news delivery is. I have him as the top-three news guy in the USA today. I don't understand why he never reports news about Bolsonaro the same way he speaks about Trump. Glenn makes clear that he is against Trump's message but not the messenger. It would be great to see him interview or talk about facts about Bolsonaro. I hope the Brazilian people have the chance to know the great work Glenn is doing in the USA.
Thank you, Glenn Greenwald for your articles that challenged the wrongful prosecutions stemming from January 6.
Funny how it’s call an insurrection when the only ones with pew pews were the Capitol police.
What is a pew pew?

This isn't true.
Many of them had arms, and those things don't make it an insurrection. That's just a weapon.
Who remembers Supreme Court justice Scalia who ended up "dying" in his sleep after a pillow flipped onto his face at night? Yeah
It's so nice to hear unbiased reports from people who care more about the truth than whose side is winning.
I really appreciate your informed, 'cool-headed' and unbiased reviews and analysis.
How come none of the Fed's involved in J-6 were prosecuted?
Because the FEDs setup January 6th.

Jackson has proven to be far more nuanced than many initially thought.
Lawyer and political commentator Robert Barnes was spot on about Ketanji Jackson and Barrett.
@@worsethanjoerogan8061 What did he say?
I come to this channel for truth. Mr. Greenwald shows the rest of us what courage means.
Amy was one of the worst things to happen to SCOTUS.
Thank you for your clear explanation ❤
Judges, including Supreme Court Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson, have immunity for decisions made in the course of their official duties. DOJ prosecutors have limited immunity, members of Congress have limited immunity, and other officials such as federal, state, and local police and law enforcement officers have limited immunity. Presidents have always had immunity for actions taken in the course of their official duties. By prosecuting President Trump, Democrats forced the Supreme Court to commit to writing the explicit terms of this formerly implicit immunity.
Very clear and succinctly presented - thank you Glenn! Well worth the time to go through his excellent presentation.
3 judges on scotus said "ya, that's fine, twist and contort, do whatever you want to get your opponents".
Clearly they have zero deference to their stated job.
Amazing coverage. And encouraging to hear about principled judges on both sides of the political spectrum. Thank you, Glenn.
It's a question of being for civil liberties or against them. Our rights have been not only infringed, they have been stomped on. Know this: When somebody you don't like goes to prison for protest, remember that in the future that same law will be used against those you agree with. I tried to tell the USAPATRIOT Act people this. They had to learn the hard way.
Exactly!!! What can be used against your opponent can also be used against you when your opponent gets in power.
You ain't seen nothing yet until Trump's Project 2025 begins. You'll be changing your tune rather quickly. Of course that topic is verboten on this channel
Jackson still doesn't know what a woman is, no respect.
She knows. She was just unwilling to say. Worse, in my opinion.
@@tcorourke2007 You made me think, I just realized her claimed inability to define woman is the ultimate insult to womanhood!
Just because she didn't respond to a theocratic nationalist biased question that has nothing to do with her legal career?@tcorourke2007
@@charisma-hornum-fries Did you and her attend that same woke leftist America hating university? Grade school children could answer that lol, and you defend it, wow.
I agree with Glenn.
It has ALWAYS been a principle of statutory construction of criminal laws to read them narrowly. Bravo Justice Jackson.
It shouldn't be so noteworthy that Brown Jackson "suspended her values and judicial beliefs" to join the majority. It's her job to be impartial. This should be the norm in all courts.
Yep shame on all the dissenters. They let their beliefs over rule their job of being a-political
Best version of glenn greenwald.
You just did the “I told you so” magnificently. 👌
You know this is on totally point when YT puts up a Wiki Jan 6 Capitol Attack link on this vid.
Misinformation is in sole control of yt and google based on government propaganda pushing certain narratives.
If January 6, participants have committed the terrible crimes that the media keeps telling us they did, then why do the prosecutors need to stretch and twist law in order to prosecute them?
Greenwald is incredible. Great analysis and kudos to Barret and Jackson. America may still survive. Jackson appears to be heroic, ruling for for Jan 6ers and also Trump in Colorado ballot case.
She does not rule politicially.
Glad you are helping us to discern the truth from fake news.
ACB. Is A LIBERAL…. Not a conservative except regarding abortion.
IMHO, today’s journalist are generally trash. You, Glenn, embody the finest traits of what a true journalist was meant to be. Thank you for your integrity!
I truly hope that all these people bring up massive LAWSUITS worth billions and billions
We love you Glen!
Seriously, Sarbanes Oxley?? These people are completely without any regard for justice
Have the three liberal justices ever not voted as a bloc? It seems that diversity in thought only occurs amongst the conservative members of the court.
Idiotic comment. Justice Jackson was one of the 6
Yeah probably but not in this case.
Thank you for explaining these complicated issues
Merrick Garland seems to be okay with his jackbooted prosecutors.
Thank you for covering the Chevron Doctrine. Many people don't understand the importance of this ruling. It is, by far, the largest reason federal alphabet agencies were able to write policies to charge unlawful fees (read: taxes), impose restrictions on civil rights and many other infringements on US citizens. It amounts to taxation without representation and bypassing Congress to write laws.
Changes the administrative state ruled by forcing the government agencies to actually adhere to congressional oversight and laws.
Not a comment at all on the video. F youtube for putting this bs Jan6 “context flag” on the video. THAT is a textbook example of fascism.
Please address “Project 2025” and recent SCOTUS rulings, especially regarding the Chevron Deference case. As with other lower court judges (public servants), should not SCOTUS also abide by a standard of ethics?
Please cover the statement by Clarence Thomas in which he decares Jack Smith's office was illegally formed. This is so significant. For those who haven't seen this, Viva Frei to showed this. Thomas's opinion addresses the fact s that Smith has no legal and office. GLENN, PLEASE COVER THIS
Wish i could leave a comment for lying Wikipedia.
Because of her background in criminal defense I was rather excited about Ketanji-Browns appointment. That perspective has been lacking on the court. While she was a disappointment on the Murthy v Missouri case her decision in this J6 case was on point. Also, her answer to the "woman" question in the hearings was very clever and revealing. " I'm not a biologist" . Think about it folks.
Glenn many years would be 5yrs plus, `2021 is much closer to a couple at most a few. You have a strange habit that borderlines on embellishment pal. Time to cool your jets as they say.
Come on Glenn, you’re being too hard on the LeFt, if it wasn’t for their double standards, they’d have none at all!
Its (whatever this government says); or essentially the opposite of the truth. Charging the Jan 6th political prisoners with obstruction is laughable when they purposely orchestrated the event to put congress into an emergency forum so congressmen couldn't object to the certification, and get an automatic 10 day review/recount... Remember, everything they say and do is the opposite of what is good and true, especially in this particular situ.
~ Inertia
Glen should do a story of the Wikipedia post that goes along with this video.
Who writes that crap?
It's interesting that the SCOTUS dissenting opinion more or less said that it's absolutely ok to abuse overly broad or vague laws; That those laws should not be restricted to the context of the behavior they are intended to criminalize.
It's even more interesting that the same justices, in dissenting to the Chevron challenge, hilariously contradicted that exact viewpoint.
It's insane to me that the interpretation of a law changes so dramatically if you are pro prosecution or pro defense....law is law and shouldn't be flexible depending on who's looking at it and should apply the same for each and every one of us no matter what our political views are
Well put, Glenn, and judges.
Banana Republic
They called. They want their bananas back.
Lol UA-cam posted their propaganda on this post.
While I may disagree with your opinion on many subjects, I respect the hell out of your reporting and journalism. Not sure I can give a better compliment in this day and age.

That was brilliant. Thank you Glenn.
Just based on what you read from the opinions, I don't see how Barrett is wrong.
True reporting, Journalism at its best…thank you for a well thought out, expertly delivered article
The supreme court should be open 24/7 to clean up all of the mess
Krugman was on the board of Enron!
Whenever I need something explained in a clear, coherent fashion, I turn to Glenn. You're awesome, brother.
Glenn, both you and my OTHER hero, Dr Alan Dershowitz, have said the same thing about this ruling. I very much fall on the side of protection of defendants' rights when it comes to prosecution by the government, and I would hope that this is a view shared by everyone regardless of politics.
People will complain, but the Chevron decision was a good decision.
Great if you want corporate tyranny
@StinkCabbage Not good if you want government tyranny. The job of the Legislative branch is to write & pass the laws. It is the role of the Executive branch to enforce those laws. Under Cheveron, the Executive was doing both making the Legislative branch irrelevant in their constitutional role.
@@richardavery4692 Well thanks for the 2nd grade civics class lesson on the three branches of government. But the fact of the matter is I don't want lawyers and judges deciding on things like water quality, acceptable levels of ground contamination. There already was corporate capture of regulatory agencies. Now they've been given the whole store. Chalk up another victory for Wall Street and defeat for Main Street
@StinkCabbage wtf? Why would judges be deciding those things? All this decision says is that those amounts must be specified in the legislation itself & not to be set by the agencies themselves. This doesn't take away any power from the Legislative branch of government in any way. It restores it to them. Congress must specify in the legislation what the legal definition of clean water is or it does not exist. That does not mean the courts, or anyone else, can decide for themselves what clean water means. It forces the Legislative branch to do its job.
Why not 9-0, seems crazy it was 6-3
Outstanding synopsis Glenn
Good for Jackson. She knows that this is bigger than Jan 6 prosecutions.
You are the last journalist.
