“Nothing can change the fact that Biden is the 46th President. “

That’s not a fact.

It’s a claim.

Your post is reasonable enough but is not relevant.

It is a constitutional crisis and extraordinary time.

I am going to qualify your statement. It is a bona-fide, actual, genuine Constitutional Crisis, not some cheap CNN-declaration imitation.

If the Senate and House totally flout the Constitution in an area where SCOTUS supposedly has "no say" the what is the recourse? We have been told infinitum that SCOTUS is there to interpret the Constitution.

Why would SCOTUS, interpreting and insisting that impeachment is for current office holders only and that the Chief Justice must preside of impeachment of a president, be infringing on the Congress' pure power of impeachment? SCOTUS is only insisting that Congress follow the Constitution as written.

This makes no sense because if a private citizen, who once held office and finished their term, is going to be impeached and Congress has absolute power over impeachment then SCOTUS cannot call it a Bill of Attainder because then they would be making a judgement over the impeachment process.

If Congress's power of impeachment is absolute then they can call every bill an article of impeachment and then the SCOTUS could not shoot it down or even get involved.

This is ludicrous.
