What is the Chief Justice's Roll in Impeachment?
As I was reading threads today I looked it up. The Chief Justices roll in Impeachment is to be an impartial judge, giving equal scrutiny of the facts and give legal, independent eyes, to the claim of violations under US Constitutional law and advise the Senate of this in their deliberations.
This means the first person to deliberate the Constitutionality of the claims made by the HOR is going to be Chief Justice John Roberts. He has sole responsibility that the charges meet Constitutional Requirements before allowing the Senate to deliberate. The first items listed in the progression of the crimes that are allowed impeachment require they be a CRIME. IE: High Crimes and misdemeanors.
Not one of the Articles of Impeachment lists a Crime as US Title Code defines. The Chief Justice will impose Federal Rules of Evidence and that will doom this impeachment before the trial even begins.
Without a violation of US Title Code, the Impeachment Articles, by democrats, are dead on arrival in the Senate. Chief Justice Roberts will ask for summary dismissal.. That will be the ultimate seal of death for democrats, to have the judiciary tell the senate that the Articles of Impeachment do not meet even basic Constitutional criteria to bring action.
Article 2 has even more problems than the basics noted here as SCOTUS has ruled, as a group, that exercise of Executive Privilege is not a crime. Article 2 was DOA before it even was made into an Article of Impeachment
Its going to be a very interesting new year... Its no wonder Nancy Pelosi is holding on to the embarrassments she claims are in need of emergency action.... Democrats are in deep shit and they dont see it....
