Court proceedings are about to begin for Cleveland Grover Meredith, Jr., whom prosecutors say texted "War time" on the day of the insurrection after receiving a message "Pence blew it."

Stand by.
He begins by arguing that interstate threats are a crime of violence, warranting continuing detention.
Meredith drove from Colorado to D.C. "to participate in a violent insurrection" on Jan. 6, which he called one of the most "hellish" days in the history of our nation's capitol.
Meredith wanted to use "armor piercing bullets," and it "just so happened" that this ammunition was found in his truck.
"Clearly this is someone who relished in the carnage," Baset said. "He relished, even after seeing what had happened."
The magistrate asks why.
Prosecutor: "His car malfunctioned, and he got here late."

The Supreme Court also found vaccine mandates legal since 1905, making it more than century-old settled law.
(The decision was over the state enforcing vaccine mandates, but the same principle applies.)

The Manatee-Sarasota area has many connections to the horrific scene of insurrection in Washington DC yesterday. Want to see? Buckle up for this thread: /1
The Manatee GOP expressed support for Josh Hawley’s objections to certification of the electoral college vote. /2
Josh Hawley’s home-state newspaper says Hawley has blood on his hands for a “Capitol coup attempt.” This is who the Manatee GOP cheered on.
Florida GOP Vice Chair & Sarasota County Commissioner Christian Ziegler was at the protest, as described in this @HeraldTribune article.
The protest was led by the same people connected to Ziegler who were filming outside the Vern Buchanan town hall at the Van Wezel in Sarasota in 2017, namely Dustin Stockton. Stockton was also part of Steve Bannon's border wall group. /5
