You're a federal judge, Judge St. John. But federal judges have not only acknowledged but stated clearly that the Capitol was attacked. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, in her dissent in Fisher versus The United States, said, and I'm quoting, a mob of rioters that breached the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and that the rioters, quote, conduct which includes trespassing and a physical confrontation with law enforcement was part of a successful effort to forcibly halt the certification of election results. Do you agree with Justice Coney Barrett? Well, I was going to agree that the Supreme Court has used the term the Capitol is breached. (01:59–02:33)
