Comparison of Pence and Biden's handling of improperly handled documents
There are similarities between Pence and Biden's circumstances regarding improperly handled documents. Both found the documents and reported them. However, the key difference is that Biden did not try to hide or destroy the documents, while Pence did not handle them properly. The report on Biden included irrelevant information about Trump's mental acuity and memory, which could suggest a political motive. Overall, there should be equal treatment and justice for defendants in similar situations.
Contempt at the Supreme Court
Contempt has only been held once at the Supreme Court. In 1906, in the United States v. Shipp case, individuals involved in a lynching were held in contempt. Typically, contempt occurs in trial courts, but appellate courts like the Supreme Court have fewer opportunities for it. The Shipp case stands as the only instance of contempt at the Supreme Court.
