A political trial, not a legal one.
No such thing under the United States legal system and the Judicial Branch will have last word.
Impeachment does not fall under the legal system

Yes it does. Chief Justice Roberts should be there tomorrow if that's when it starts to preside over the hateful rancor the Democrats in the House have created to slap down the 6 or 7 inquiries into the Russian Collusion false narrative. The evidence points out it was likely created by Hillary Clinton's old War Room. Last I heard, she was hiding out in Ireland last week, seeking employment.
The only reason the Chief Justice is there is because the VP is not considered impartial in the impeachment of a president.
The role of the chief justice in an impeachment trial - SCOTUSblog
Sometime in the next week or two, the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump will convene in the Senate. When it does, Chief Justice John Roberts will preside. There has been a good deal written about Roberts’ role, some of it intimating – or at least hoping – that Roberts could wrench control from the politicians who make up the Senate and transform the proceeding into a trial of the conventional judicial sort, with both sides able to compel the appearance of live witnesses and the production of documents and to inquire into any matter logically relevant to the charges against the president.
For better or worse, neither the Constitution, the rules of the Senate, historical precedent nor the personal predilections of Roberts himself make this the least bit likely. Instead, Roberts is most likely to serve as a dignified figurehead in an affair entirely dominated by the Republican senatorial caucus.
I didn't look at any news source, but I knew the Impeachment Trial in the Senate is always under the jurisdiction of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Glad to bring your education up a notch.
Chief Justice Rhinequist presided over the Clinton Impeachment Trial to make certain everything went by the book of fairness this country operates under. And it is in the Constitution as the above link to a generally leftist paper says. You really should read the Constitution's provisions occasionally rather than being critical of people who happen to be well-informed Republicans. There's not a specific cure for TDS, but you can control it by understanding what went into the Constitution to make certain all was fair, and what unfolds between the time the trial started and until it is over will hopefully assure you that Republicans do support the fairness aspect of the Constitution, even though Adam Schiff and Jerold Nadler both ignored their responsibilities, and the House Speaker who was gloating about how permanent this impeachment was going to be should be dismissed from any and all public speaking in behalf of all 500+ members of the House she just humiliated.
