‘The SCOTUS should throw it out as illegitimate”

Should but won’t, not with this SC.

Yeah, I agree. If Bush had put in another Thomas instead of Roberts, this impeachment would already be out on it’s tail.

It’s too late now. Pelosi gave DJT’s lawyers 28 days to bring an expedited appeal to SCOTUS and there is no record they even tried to bring a petition.

Does Scotus even have any authority over this, other than the Chief Justice overseeing the Senate portion?

The Constitution gives the House sole authority to impeach; right, wrong, or indifferent. I'm certainly not happy with how this is all playing out, but let's not try to reinvent the Constitution to suit our needs, as that is what liberals do.

At this stage, it's all up to the Pubbies in the Senate, which should worry all of us.
