Mr. Smith’s lawyers are punching back, recently sending Mr. Grassley a letter protesting that all the prosecutor’s subpoenas—including for phone tolling data for numerous Republican senators—were “proper, lawful” and had been approved.

Hydee Feldstein Soto’s office later charged many of the protesters with unlawful assembly, failure to disperse, failure to comply with a lawful order and obstruction of a street, sidewalk or other public corridor — all misdemeanors.

The panel was told Mr Sinclair-Birt used "lawful and proportionate force" throughout the arrest to get the detainee to sit down.

Vote-dilution claims thus operate to restrict states from engaging in otherwise lawful partisan mapmaking.

Furthermore, the judge said he had no doubt "the soldiers who opened fire did so with the intention to kill" – and they "did not act in lawful self-defence".
