A federal judge named Walter Nixon

You're talking about a federal judge, and that's a much lower profile case than impeachment of a president. So, was that case as public as an impeachment of a president would be? Even Bill Clinton didn't make it to conviction, and he actually did commit a federal crime.

USSC didn’t limit it’s ruling to federal judges. USSC said there was no appeal of impeachment and conviction. Since there is no appeal, impeachment and conviction cannot be limited to criminal offenses. IOW, the House and the Senate determine what the grounds for impeachment and conviction can be and there is no appeal.
