“Is it possible that the SCOTUS could step in and declare that the impeachment is void because it was not accomplished according to the Law?”
I think so since the Chief Justice presides on the Senate trial. As a judge, could he not proclaim there are no charges stated for which an impeachment can be held?
Since Queen Nancy hasn’t forwarded the articles of impeachment to the Senate, the articles have no meaning, there is no Senate trial, and there is no Chief Justice presiding. The House took a vote.
Interestingly, if the Republicans take back the House next year and the articles are not forwarded, there can still be another vote to abolish the previous vote and the articles voided from the record.
EXCELLENT POINT!
And what a great campaign promise to make in about 30 CDs.
Or she will send it over to the Senate in November 2020, after the election when the Republicans take back the House (and before the January 2021 session begins - the117th)
