SCOTUS has absolutely no power to step in, its all Commiegress. By law.
Kavanaugh, -IF- he made the statement, and that's how it reads, commented on one of the on-going cases, someone just "inferred" that Kavanaugh ALSO meant to say this in regard to the impeachment.
Read the article, carefully. Doesn't matter in the end, its not up to SCOTUS in any way to start, stop or delay an impeachment, they are just observers by SCOTUS blog on the issue.
100% this. SCOTUS cannot do anything to affect the proceedings. They have no enforcement power, they have no intercession power. A judge cannot round up all the bailiffs and go arrest people, or do anything.
They render opinions on cases they put before themselves. THAT IS IT.
Anyone saying otherwise is doing it for show, for ignorant citizens who think they have any other powers.
I see this as very bad news, supporting Demoncrats.
Not sure I see it as "bad news", if I read the article correctly. To my eye, and thought, and as I already said IF this even took place, its Kavanaugh telling libtards to stop filing lawsuits against Trump (one investigation still going on in NYC, need to research what else may be in play, still). As of now, and before we see some opinions rendered in the upcoming docketed cases, I am hoping the 3 "conservatives" will stick to the Constitution, thus I am giving Kavanaugh a pass on this one until we figure out where he stands.
