>The SCOTUS has no authority to “throw out” an impeachment.

By judicial review they can call any legislative process unconstitutional. If there’s no applicable criminal statue cited in the impeachment articles, then that could clearly violate the dictates that there be “high crimes and misdemeanors.”

To: struggle
If you give the U.S. Supreme Court the authority to intervene in an impeachment process that Congress is given the sole authority to adjudicate under the U.S. Constitution, then you are also giving the Court the authority to overturn an acquittal by the U.S. Senate.

Does anyone think that even makes sense?
