When comparing the severe prison sentences imposed on the January 6 defendants to those of similarly situated left-wing protesters and rioters—the vast majority of whom receive slaps on the wrist, if any accountability at all—Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch grilled Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar.

Gorsuch challenged Prelogar on the differences in sentence during the arguments on Wednesday, citing several instances, such as the demonstrations against Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment. “Would entrance to a federal courthouse or a trial being disrupted by a sit-in qualify? Would a heckler at the State of the Union address or in today’s crowd qualify? Gorsuch asked.

“Would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify for 20 years in federal prison?” he continued, referencing the incident where Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) pulled a fire alarm and caused Congress to pause a vote. Bowman was given a slap on the wrist where he avoided jail time and was merely required to write an apology essay about his actions.
