In July Jake Lang notified The Gateway Pundit that he is taking his case to the highest court in the land.
Lang's decision to move his arguments to the Supreme Court follows a split ruling in the DC Court of Appeals in April.
The split ruling reinstated the felony obstruction charge against Lang and two others: Garret Miller, who pleaded guilty to 11 other criminal charges and was sentenced in February, and Joseph Fischer, who, like Lang, continues to await trial.
Lang, who is charged with multiple felonies, filed his petition to the United States Supreme Court -asking that the 1512 felony obstruction charge be dismissed.
The filing begins with a question: "Whether the Court of Appeals erred in concluding that application of 18 U.S.C. Section 1512(c)(2), a statute crafted to prevent tampering with evidence in"official proceedings," can be used to prosecute acts of violence against police officers in the context of a public demonstration that turned into a riot, resulting in so "breathtaking" an application of the statute as to run afoul of Van Buren v. United States, 141 S. Ct. 1648." As was extensively detailed in The Gateway Pundit, the 1512 Felony Obstruction charge was repurposed specifically for January 6th defendants.
The ruling will also have an impact on President Trump's case and the bogus charges filed against the former US President.
NBC News reported: The Supreme Court will soon consider whether to hear appeals brought by people charged with offenses relating to the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol in cases that could have a major impact on the criminal prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
