Episode notes
Church Takeover Parallels January 6
- The Minnesota church takeover resembles a left-wing January 6 in its illegal, coordinated character.
- Will Chamberlain argues 18 U.S.C. 241 (conspiracy against rights) fits these facts and is likely to be charged.
Prioritize Conspiracy Charges Over FACE Act
- Expect prosecutors to prioritize conspiracy against rights charges over FACE Act technical arguments.
- Prepare for felony prosecutions under 18 U.S.C. 241 rather than relying on weak FACE Act defenses.
FACE Act Wasn’t Written For Churches
- The FACE Act has mostly targeted abortion-clinic protests, so applying it to churches raises interpretive gaps.
- Chamberlain warns FACE Act prosecutions for churches are plausible but less legally straightforward.
