“I have posted this before, and I know it is a loooong shot, but perhaps the only recourse is for the White House and the Senate to appeal to the Supreme Court to dismiss the articles of impeachment, already passed by the House, as not withstanding Constitutional muster.”
The supreme court has no jurisdiction over impeachment. None at all. That is what “The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments” means.
“The supreme court has no jurisdiction over impeachment. None at all.”
Then you missed this clause in the constitution: “When the President of the United States is tried the Chief Justice shall preside”
Correct, but I am saying that this is not an issue of the "trial." It is an issue of Constitutionality. What the House under Pelosi, Schiff, and Nadler did was clearly Unconstitutional.
Even without weighing the complete lack of Due Process granted to the President, the articles themselves do not even pass Constitutional muster.
The court could declare them null and void before we ever got to the "trial" (which, let's be honest, isn't really anything of the sort).
Yes, it's a long shot, I know. Especially with Judas Roberts in there.
