Yup…..two sets of laws…..
Biden hates the Constitution.
Biden is an idiot, but I'm pretty sure he's not involved in the charges (if he has any idea about any of the FACE Act violations that have been charged).
And we still don't know what the sentence will be. IMO, they should be charged, maybe with a violation, but if charged with a fed offense, the sentence should be light.
In the Tennessee situation, all of them are guilty of violating the FACE Act, and all of them knew they were violating it. They should have been arrested and charged with something. None of them should be given anything close to the max sentence allowed.
The DOJ did the same thing last year with a reproductive health clinic, where some activists spray painted messages on the walls, things like "If abortions aren’t safe, neither are you". Should they be charged? Yep. With a federal offense, probably not.
And certainly not anything near the max allowed under FACE.
The FACE Act has become the FARCE Act.
The protestors should receive some penalty if I understand the story correctly. They blocked the entrance- which is illegal per law.
OTOH, I have no faith that justice will be meted out fairly here because Biden's WH is full of vengeful jackasses.

Yep, it will be interesting to see how the sentencing comes down. The 10.5 years max sentence should be held for those physically attacking people or trying to harm people.
