    Some of them were and are. Sorry, but I don’t think it’s reasonable to claim they were all in on the real plot. That doesn’t mean they weren’t taking part in an insurrection, of course - ignorance is no excuse.

      The punishment laid out in their convictions take into account how involved they were in the insurrection. The Supreme Court isn’t taking that into account. Many are getting a simple fine for trespassing, but the ones that went with the intent of causing trouble are getting the actual real punishments.
