This will go to the supreme court and then we will see if the Roberts court is as bad as it appears.

The Roberts court failed when it refuse the TX, et al case and the congressman (Web?) case.

This whole thing should be laid at the feet of the US Supreme Court. ALL OF IT.

My overall read of the document says it is powerful and compelling.

You know who I think will be persuaded? Susan Collins.

She represents her state. No other Republican could have held that seat for so long. But she voted for Kavanaugh and won anyway. Now she has 6 more years and probably will retire at its end.

Her Kavanaugh speech was very powerful and likely swayed a few GOP votes. She evaluated it in a pure way. She will do the same with this document.

I think she’ll vote that the matter is moot. He is no longer president and removal is the only remedy provided. That remedy is not possible so the matter will be rejected. I bet she can move one of the 5 GOP senators who voted to proceed to trial. Her speeches are that good.

I do not believe the impeachment can go to the Supreme Court due to the separation of powers. The Supreme Court judges legislation, not the rights of Congress. Impeachment is a constitutional right of the Congress to which the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction. Only the Senate can say to the House, their impeachment is out of bounds and the Senate refused to do so when the vote on that question was put forward by Senator Paul.
