Trump said he would turn to the Supreme Court if the House moves to impeach him, though it is unclear what role the nation’s highest court could play if the president were to seek its help in such a situation

Although Trump claimed he would seek the Supreme Court's help if the House were to impeach him, the Supreme Courtunanimously in 1993 that authority for impeachment trials resides in Congress and ”nowhere else.”

Democratic leaders in the House rejected calls to immediately launch impeachment proceedings, instead pledging to continue the ongoing oversight investigations and refusing to take the possibility of impeachment off the table. Some Democrats have expressed worry that impeachment would only fuel the president's 2020 reelection campaign, arguing that removing him from office by defeating him at the ballot box next year would be more effective.

The power of impeachment belongs to Congress and proceedings must be launched in the House, according to the U.S. Constitution. If representatives vote to impeach, the case is tried in the Senate, where the votes of two thirds of the members present is required to remove an individual from office. The U.S. Constitution mandates the chief justice presides over the Senate impeachment trials of the president. Some legal scholars have claimed moves to impeach Trump could further entangle the Supreme Court if proceedings trigger judicial review of the standards for ejecting a sitting president.

Right, keep telling yourself that

...true.

Playing to the lowest common denominator.

Trump talks out of both sides of his mouth & trips over his self contradictions!

I do not think the court can cancel an impeachment. That is up to the Senate. realDonaldTrump Let it play out and see if you are cleared. Do not involve the courts.

The sorry ass Democrat goes to court every time the wind blows we r catching on

Someone needs to tell him the truth. No way he will read it. If he did he wouldn't understand it.

Why is it so hard for him to acknowledge Russia is attacking our country with information warfare? Why is he not protecting us?

He is correct...it was a Sham from Day one! Every Lawyer who worked on this Committee donated to Hillary Clinton!!!

Really, I guess you didn’t read the report!

ReleaseTheFullReport so we can all see.

ddavis4911 Arrogance is defeating.

MoreTrumpLies

🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Think whatever you think realDonaldTrump. The ‘glove’ will be in the form of an overwhelming loss in 2020. Then you’ll be arrested and tried in SDNY. Try to enjoy yourself between now and then.

Good luck fool⚡💩

No glove, the hands of the law are about to start clapping with you in the middle

What Mr. Trump does not understand is that the justice department has nothing to do with a political IMPEACHMENT! It is a legal action under the constitution.

This is what he's been banking on. That's why he puts into place those he hopes will agree with him.

Amazing that the report both exonerates him completely and is also horribly biased. Sounds legit

He is a totally ILLEGITIMATE , wanna-be Prezident!

Supreme court can not intervien in an impeachment case.

He is correct on all points..MAGA

realDonaldTrump is correct!!! The dems FAILED! Now get over it. Time to move on. Trump2020Landslide

Trump is running scared and acting like the orange baby bully he is!

Sleazeball Trump

He’s right again. Angry spiteful democrats.

It was his team, his money. 🤣

Stop the lying and bullshit Don the Con! You are a criminal of the worst kind and you have no business in politics let alone the highest office in the country. Don the Con is going down!

That’s right, it dropped the hammer on him.

Politico pretends they have no idea what he is talking about

Let's settle this. He did nothing wrong. He has never done anything wrong. He is the greatest person ever born. There is nobody to compare to him. We should refer to him as the almighty. Can the Parrot in Chief ever STFU?

It didn't.

True

Delusional as usual, oh look I rhymed!

No glove on you And the emperor does not have any clothes! 🤡

So I guess he should be getting on his knees and apologizing to them.

Let’s SEE!

He could not be more wrong for POTUS. He's barely right for the job of human.

The glove is sure to fit, that's why Mueller said he could not acquit!

Thinks he's above the law. His appointments with help from GOP will protect him. We must scream for justice

Is he violating the law by fighting the subpoenas?

ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME Trump is ok with Russia interfering with US elections All Trump cares about is himself

He claims he did nothing wrong, 'YES HE DID' and he knows it. Why everyday the same statement? Move On!!!!!

If so, stop whining about it, ‘Mr. I am the most transparent president ever’ 😡

True!

He talks as if he's persecuted. Poor mr. President he is treated so unfairly. He is judged by the filth that comes out of his mouth, the hatred comes out of his brain. And the ugliness in his heart. The president is cursed! Because we don't want a Dick tator! Ha! Ha!

Dear Brett, remember what I did for you? Love you, Donny.

LIAR TRAITOR LIAR TRAITOR LIAR TRAITOR LIAR TRIATOR LIAR TRAITOR LIAR TRAITOR!!

'Mr. Kavanaugh? They're being mean to me!'

Mental illness in a president can lead to a world war.

Strange thing for an “innocent” person to say.

He still hasn’t read it.

No gloves, just the strong arm of the law about to come down on you.

I am hoping Roberts will be the Quintas who tells the Pretorian (SCOTUS) to 'sheath your swords' in this final battle between Commonus (Trump) and Maximus (Congress)

Trump wants to be a dictator. Just what the founding fathers were afraid of.

He doesn't even having a passing familiarity with the Constitution.

Exactly what drugs is he on?

Trump thinks that bribing Stevens to retire and adding frat boy wannabe-rapist Kavanaugh to the court makes him bullet-proof now. I hope he's not right.

How about, (since trump is not playing by the rules anyway), we tar & feather him & run him out of D.C. on a rail, just like they did in the old days...a girl can dream.

Well now, as usual he lies

People need to wake up to what is going on right under our noses. President Trump was found to have committed no wrongdoing , but the democrats have decided not to accept that and want to impeach. That effectively nullifies the vote of the American people.

What a HUGE baby, America has in the White House. ImpeachDonaldTrump

Impeachment cannot be stopped by the Supreme Court.

30 million dollars at least. It was never about Russian interference , You do not need a speacial council to investigate Russian interference . Thats a fake narrative

Yeah, well, he lies...a lot

Should join the OA in that other dimension.

“unlimited money”? sounds like his golf trips

He is correct. HRC’s Lawyer was on the S.C., Not one person on the S.C. donated to Trump many donated to HRC. The Mueller report written by hateful Democrats found zero evidence anyone from the campaign committed a crime. Time to move on to Keep America Great!!!!!!!!!!

And the SCOTUS will tell you; 'sorry, it's not in our purview'

I want to know, if he is saying it's all the Dems and Hillary, why wouldn't that have been in the report? That's not how investigations go.

Little known fact: Trump had to build two extra closets just for his lawsuits.

It’s not all about YOU Fatso.

Just becsuse Mueller hired all vicious blood sucking democrats doesn't necessarily mean it was bias 🤠

I've got a serious question lol well kinda. Where did the extra $5 million come from? Did I misread where Mueller's report, according to Trump, cost $30,000,000?

Liar

He is correct

Don't buy the 'didn't lay a glove' point, but he is correct in that the composition of the Mueller team was a bit heavy on former Clinton supporters/donors...so likely inclined to find something serious, if it was there. That said, Mueller himself was likely very unbiased.

It's funny to think of all the people that Trump fired shortly after he said he wouldn't. A Trump denial is actually a Trump confession.

He's right and you're wrong... As usual

Oh shit... He's not going to go, is he? He's just going to stay in the White House no matter what. Just straight up seize power. Shit.

IGNORAMUS

He’s right. An obviously orchestrated Smear Campagn.

BS. Obstruction of justice guilty as sin

Impeachment still doesn’t seem the most productive path for Dems to take but the fact that Trump seems so worried about it makes more attractive and likely.

That won’t work out well for you Donnie!

The Supreme Court? Why would they interfere with Congress doing its job of oversight? No Roy Cohns on the Bench there...

But the report shows without a doubt. That you are Putin’s illegitimate presidential child

There should be a PPV event where IQ45 reads the report on live TV.

He Is the most dishonest man in America

Lied you mean. He lied.

He’s right.

Someone *please* read the damned report to him. 🤦🏼‍♀️

He also said that he did not call a reporter when he did in fact do so and that he would go to SCOTUS to fight impeachment when SCOTUS has nothing to do with that. He cannot help himself.

Interesting boxing metaphor, a 5+% ratings drop after Mueller Report release is a knockout not a boxing match.

Trump claimed that Mueller’s report was written by a team biased toward patriotism with “limited money” for an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Still, he said, the report “didn’t say it heaped love on me.'

I encourage everyone who is sick of this corruption continuing to sign my petition, demanding the resignation of Donald Trump

Surely his Lower Anterior Descending artery is clogged as can be right? Is it coarse to hope that it might be? Do I care?

Truthfully, the report established that the Russians were interfering in our elections. Trump is doing as little as possible to stop them from doing so. That's a problem the GOP is refusing to address.

Oh.

notice he is all butt hurt over the unlimited money angle. He is sooooo broke. Lets see those taxes.

Right..

Dementia is setting in....

He has no clue how the Constitution works. None.

Trump lawyer, Supreme Court justices clash over citizenship question on 2020 censusPres. Trump's top administration lawyer clashes with liberal justices of the Supreme Court over the administration's plan to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census: 'The conservative majority seemed untroubled by the addition of the question'. Game over fellas, Trump wins. I think enough US citizens should refuse to participate with this sham of a Census if the Supreme Court allows Trump and Ross to have this senseless question added; which only serves to discourage undocumented people from being included, as constitutionally mandated. No. Trump refused a LEGAL order by forcing Treasury to withhold.
