"We don’t want them to be retaliated against and to be charged by the DOJ,” the House speaker said. His office later noted that DOJ already has the raw footage.
Many rioters were identified by people who knew them based on previous footage. Anyone in the videos is already breaking the law, right? There were dozens of people livestreaming this already… I think you make a good point in general, but in this case I’m not sure I agree. There are places and times with an expectation of privacy, but storming your nation’s capitol in an attempt to stop the certification of a democratic election is probably not one
I respect your position on this. I’m not clamoring for them to release the footage, censored or not. What is the difference between a public space and a private one, though? If I go to a concert and they record footage and later release it with my face in it, has my privacy been violated? Did I have a reasonable expectation of privacy? Is it different because the government recorded it in this case? Are your rights being removed by the government releasing footage of a “protest” or otherwise? I’m not sure I buy that any rights are being infringed here. I also don’t think I share much in common with SCOTUS. Let’s say the FBI released the uncensored footage asking for the public’s help in identifying potential criminals – is that different because it’s done attempting to solve a crime?
Sorry for the litany of question marks, just curious!
if you voted for Trump, you are forever cut off from the Blessings of Liberty.. you are not, and never will be fellow citizens of mine.. i will not defend any of you or your offspring from even the most basic harm.. you are enemies living among us for the rest of your lives..
This is potentially the cringiest thing I’ve read today. Perhaps this week? Trump voters are your family and countrymen. The majority aren’t totally awful people but have been taken advantage of by insidious propaganda machines. The people are never your enemy. It is the autocrats, the fascists, the despots.
It amuses me how pompous and pathetic you sound. You’re like a caricature of the left. Would you defend me? Im offspring with trump voting parents? I’m a leftist. U tell me. This type of dramatic bullshit is the same divisive BS youd see on a moronic trumpers facebook page. Introspect friend.

The disgraceful Supreme Court justice should be held accountable for his actions but probably won't.
