This fantasy you cling to is noteworthy — it goes to show just how little, (pause) people understand how our Federal Triumvirate works (Bicameral legislation) + (Quasi-Oligarchical Judicial system) + (non-successionary Monarch) is supposed to work.
When Obama was sworn in, he left the realm of common and statue law and into the realm of conditional immunity with impeachment oversight. The judiciary has no role other than the CJSCOTUS presiding over impeachment hearings.
If it were otherwise, every President from here on out will be mired in judicial proceedings, like if it was a conservative every Liberal coast to coast will be trying to ‘Tom Delay’ him out of office.
Tell the 20th Amendment that. I’m just telling you what it says.
Not that it matters at this point. The rule of law is SO LAST CENTURY! (and apparently that’s fine with all the moles and trolls...)
