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.

That's besides the point I was making. The point is that, a federal judge's case is not as high-profile as that of an indictment or impeachment of a president. Impeachment procedures might be the same, but the targets are NOT EQUAL in all cases, and when it comes to the president, it's highly doubtful that the case would be treated the same as with a federal judge or anybody else lower than the president. With the president, THE PEOPLE are involved, and SCOTUS would also be involved. IOW, apples and oranges, as far as the cases involved.
