He thinks he knows more than anyone else in the universe, so let him keep proclaiming dumb stuff. Don't try to help him by explaining things to him, because he won't listen anyway. Just let him keep walking around with that long strip of toilet paper stuck to his shoe.

"federal courts have no jurisdiction over impeachment " mitch96 Apr 2019 #91
That was because he has no idea how any of this works. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #95

They could refuse the case. They don't have to take it. gldstwmn Apr 2019 #88
They couldn't take it, they don't have jurisdiction. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #98
That's what we said right before they decided an election. gldstwmn Apr 2019 #100
It's in the Constitution in black and white. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #109
He sounds nervous... and frightened. NurseJackie Apr 2019 #5
Yup. A tell. Not a case of "Don't throw me into the briar patch". He's desperate to avoid impeachmen Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2019 #12
Maybe...or maybe he feeds off of the controversy. nt Lucky Luciano Apr 2019 #32
Is somebody gonna tell him that is not how things work? Botany Apr 2019 #6
and the trial in the senate is PRESIDED OVER by the Chief Justice!!! elleng Apr 2019 #89
thanx I forgot about that fact Botany Apr 2019 #99
Not exactly. The CJ is the "presiding officer" but he doesn't act as a trial judge. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #114
Right, thought about changing my wording; will do so! elleng Apr 2019 #115
Really? On what grounds? That Congress is a lesser branch of government sinkingfeeling Apr 2019 #7
That's hilarious. The Constitution does not allow SCOTUS to weigh in. lagomorph777 Apr 2019 #9
Good to know! Iliyah Apr 2019 #15
Actually it does, in a way. Scoopster Apr 2019 #37
But the actual vote is by sitting Senators paleotn Apr 2019 #43
Yeah I get that. Scoopster Apr 2019 #76
But they don't control the outcome. CJ Rehnquist presided over the trial that acquitted Clinton. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #56

This constitutes another impeachable offense. The man is incapable of upholding the Constitution. Tom Rinaldo Apr 2019 #11
Unless I am mistaken SCOTUS has zero say in any impeachment of an official by Congress. cstanleytech Apr 2019 #13

As far as I can tell from reading the Senate's rules on impeachment trials, The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #60
Roberts certainly has been a pleasant surprise. gldstwmn Apr 2019 #90
I didn't know that. Delmette2.0 Apr 2019 #36
In this case ya. Volaris Apr 2019 #64
The only involvement Roberts would have in an impeachment trial The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #69
no, no, I mean in reference to Trump wanting to sue the Congress for impeaching him. Volaris Apr 2019 #72
LOL, you have to hand it to him for creativity. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #73
RIGHT??? But really whats his argument gonna be? Volaris Apr 2019 #77

Expect McConnell to try to block an impeachment trial as he did the Garland hearing. Marcuse Apr 2019 #25
McConnell would have no choice in the matter PRETZEL Apr 2019 #30
Exactly paleotn Apr 2019 #44
Yes, finally for once McConnell can only act as a senator, not the head of the Senate. machoneman Apr 2019 #66
sure he could qazplm135 Apr 2019 #84
I'm not sure he can. MarvinGardens Apr 2019 #45
Once a Bill of Impeachment passes melm00se Apr 2019 #75
The difference is that nothing in the Constitution or Senate rules required a vote on Garland onenote Apr 2019 #93

Considering that the Supremes are involved in Impeachment of a president Farmer-Rick Apr 2019 #19
No, they are not involved. The federal courts have no jurisdiction over the impeachment process. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #70
To me that IS involvement Farmer-Rick Apr 2019 #96
It won't happen. Rehnquist was a worse partisan hack than Roberts The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #97
I honestly can't see Roberts buying into this... SKKY Apr 2019 #20
It doesn't matter - SCOTUS is not permitted to weigh in. lagomorph777 Apr 2019 #54
That is so good to know padah513 Apr 2019 #57
Could you imagine the supreme court having to respond to this? tymorial Apr 2019 #21

Doesn't matter in this case; the Supremes can't be involved in impeachment trials. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #74
The Supreme Court can make up the rules as they like The Wizard Apr 2019 #118
No, they can't. The Constitution expressly says that impeachment The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #119

He feels emboldened, untouchable, fits right into his mental illness yaesu Apr 2019 #46
Of course he would. He packed the court with conservatives. But I doubt Roberts would support Nitram Apr 2019 #47
The Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over impeachment trials. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #61
Nor can he resort to the courts to block the House from considering articles of impeachment onenote Apr 2019 #92
Thanks for reminding me of that, one note. Nitram Apr 2019 #102
Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Nitram Apr 2019 #101
. struggle4progress Apr 2019 #48
That's a non-starter. Even most of the conservatives on the Supreme Court believe in Nitram Apr 2019 #49
Roberts won't have to leave a legacy like that because the federal courts don't have jurisdiction. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #67

Thank you kimbutgar Apr 2019 #63
What are the CJ's duties in presiding over an impeachment trial? Thanks. NT mahatmakanejeeves Apr 2019 #79
He doesn't act as a judge, as such. He is the "presiding officer" of the Senate The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #85
