Senator Cotton led 22 of his congressional colleagues in filing an amicus brief opposing the Department of Justice\u2019s overreach:\n\n\u201cToday\u2019s decision is a victory against the Biden Administration\u2019s abuse of power. The Department of Justice stretched a law in a way more befitting a banana republic than America. This Administration tolerates violent crime and an open border, but they manipulated a statute to imprison grandmas anywhere near the Capitol on January 6. I was proud to lead the amicus brief and commend the Court for its decision.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:11:47Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.cotton.senate.gov/news/press-releases/cotton-applauds-scotus-decision-ruling-biden-doj-overstepped-in-charging-january-6-defendants"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6833061818033457, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
