"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. The Constitution requires a two-thirds supermajority to convict a person being impeached."
So I just did the math and realized that the number of members of Congress who are respondents in the Brunson Case are: 291/435 for House which is 66.9% (more than two-thirds) and 94/100 for Senate which is 94% (again more than two-thirds) which is the minimum number required as per constitution for conviction after impeachment. Can it just be a coincidence or do these numbers mean something? Does it give extra power to SCOTUS to remove these members while ruling on the Brunson Case?
Not all those who were there in 2020 still are. What about the rest? Honestly, this case seems to me more huge than you all imagine, just banging on those members of Congress. The crux of it is about keeping an oath. Our whole society and laws are built around keeping oaths. If Congress doesn't have to keep an oath to the Constitution, why should anyone be punished for lying in court? What's the point of secular marriage vows? Why would anyone carry through on any contract if they could leave it without penalty? This is so fundamental I think the Supremes will not take it.
My understanding is that the SCOTUS will have to stop the clock at the certification day. IMO, everything that happened post certification will need to be reversed including inauguration of JB!
IF.THEY.TAKE.IT. IF.THEY.RULE.IN.FAVOR. I see a lot of people taking out mortgages on air castles over this case. When they say they will consider the case, I'll allow myself a tiny smidgen of hope.
Its world wide. Every nook and cranny
The dependence of civil order on honor? Well, some very powerful parties are without honor and always a trap to the honorable, otherwise I agree. It seems so obvious I can't see how the Supremes could fail to affirm that. Just, not very confident in them any more.
