These 14,000 2,000-pound bombs have a combined yield of 13 kilotons, which is almost equivalent of the "Little Boy" atomic bomb that the US used to destroy Hiroshima in 1945. The right-wing majority, joined by Kentanji Brown Jackson, ruled that the federal obstruction law was too broadly applied by prosecutors, paving the way for hundreds of charges to be dropped.
