Okay, so absolutely any congressional proceeding can now be interrupted by protesters without them being thrown out, right? Because I'm not sure Republicans are going to like that.

Right. As long as you don't fuck with their notes or commit other crimes, you can absolutely obstruct government proceedings. I wonder if they included SCOTUS trials...
No, because you're still trespassing.
Trespassing on public property?
Yes. Public property doesn't mean free access at all times. Even public parks are often closed at night.
And when do the public get this free access to congress?
I never said they did. But you can certainly take guided tours.
So it is a public space where it is always trespassing?
I never said it was a public space either.
Our taxes pay for it. It's government land. How is it not a public space?
Because not all public land (meaning government-owned) is a public space (meaning available for use to the general public, like a park or community room at the library).
Our taxes pay for military bases too. Those are also government land. I'm sure you wouldn't try wandering in there for a nice walk or a picnic.
But he led a conspiracy to certify fake electors. That required records. So we still got him, right?
