"Trump is expected to appeal the matter to the U.S. Supreme Court."
A blogger wrote:
I see the SC refusing to hear the case and let stand the lower court
ruling. Even the rightists and Tumpists on the court know they are
lifetime appointees and will be around after Trump. If they want to be
respected and taken seriously and in one case avoid impeachment , they
would have to rule with the constitution in mind, seeing they are strict
originalists. Congressional oversight is a primary responsibility
listed in the constitution. No lifetime judges at this level would want
to be associated with being a Trump apologist ignoring black letter law.
Trump should be careful what he wishes for when it comes to the Supreme
Court.
My Comment: I hope the blogger
is right. It remains that these "conservative" justices do not have to
be conservative if they do not want to and since they travel in the
circles they do and were put on the court by Trump they may not want to
either incur his wrath, ruin the Republican Party and defeat Trump in an
election because of all the illegalities that it is alleged his
finances would show.
Republicans have shown
time and time and time again that corruption is their middle name. They
will do anything for power and money including kiss an adversary's
behind. Trump is SO clearly guilty of all of the impeachment charges as
stellar witnesses' testimonies have shown but the Republican Senate will
twist themselves into a pretzel to somehow someway give excuses and
rationales for their voting with Trump and not removing him as he SO
mightily deserves. SCOTUS could do the same, destroying the balance of
power our Founders so judiciously created. It would be the end of
democracy as we know it.
