You failed Latin.

I see you had your sense of humor removed.

When you find it again... Your life will be much happier.

Your entire screed was an appeal to leave things as they are rather than fix a fundamentally broken system.

Nice going Ace...

Hardly. Checks and balances requires that the a federal judiciary serving life terms be disciplined from outside the judicial branch. Most states have judicial discipline boards, but the feds lack that organ. Juries need to be empowered as they were at common law to nullify judicial overreach. The unemployed should be required to volunteer for jury duty while unemployed to collect unemployment comp. Garbage criminal cases need to be thrown out earlier, and "qualified immunity" for cops and DAs needs to be greatly reduced.

18 U.S.C. 1512(c)(2) as it appears in the U.S. Code

https://law.justia.com/codes/us/2021/title-18/part-i/chapter-73/sec-1512/

Title 18 - Crimes and Criminal Procedure
Part I - Crimes
Chapter 73 - Obstruction of Justice
Sec. 1512 - Tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant

[...]

(c) Whoever corruptly—

(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object's integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding; or

(2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so,

shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.

For the Act which added the provision to the U.S. Code, see the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Public Law 107-204 of July 30, 2002, 116 Statutes at Large 745. This provides the context within which the provision was enacted.

PUBLIC LAW 107–204—JULY 30, 2002 116 STAT. 745

Public Law 107–204
107th Congress

An Act

To protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures made pursuant to the securities laws, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; TABLE OF CONTENTS.

(a) SHORT TITLE.—This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002’’

- - - - -

At 116 Stat. 807

TITLE XI—CORPORATE FRAUD ACCOUNTABILITY

SEC. 1101. SHORT TITLE.

This title may be cited as the ‘‘Corporate Fraud Accountability Act of 2002’’.

SEC. 1102. TAMPERING WITH A RECORD OR OTHERWISE IMPEDING AN OFFICIAL PROCEEDING.

Section 1512 of title 18, United States Code, is amended—

(1) by redesignating subsections (c) through (i) as subsections (d) through (j), respectively; and

(2) by inserting after subsection (b) the following new subsection:

‘‘(c) Whoever corruptly—

‘‘(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding; or

‘‘(2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.’’.

Now if one puts the provision in the context of CORPORATE FRAUD ACCOUNTABILITY; TAMPERING WITH A RECORD OR OTHERWISE IMPEDING AN OFFICIAL PROCEEDING, within the Corporate Fraud Accountability Act of 2002’’, one may well question how this pertains to any corporate fraud that occurred at the capitol on January 6th.
