Trump believes that if House Democrats impeach him, he can fight it in the Supreme Court, but that is not even possible.

Trump Thinks The Supreme Court Can Save Him From Impeachment
Trump tweeted:
The Mueller Report, despite being written by Angry Democrats and Trump Haters, and with unlimited money behind it ($35,000,000), didn’t lay a glove on me. I DID NOTHING WRONG. If the partisan Dems ever tried to Impeach, I would first head to the U.S. Supreme Court. Not only……

…..are there no “High Crimes and Misdemeanors,†there are no Crimes by me at all. All of the Crimes were committed by Crooked Hillary, the Dems, the DNC and Dirty Cops – and we caught them in the act! We waited for Mueller and WON, so now the Dems look to Congress as last hope!

Trump can’t possibly be this stupid, but he is
Take it away Laurence Tribe:
Trump’s idiocy won’t serve him well as we move through the #impeachment process. Not even a SCOTUS filled with Trump appointees would get in the way of the House or Senate, where CJ Roberts would preside over Trump’s Impeachment Trial. My book with @JoshuaMatz8 lays it all out. https://t.co/eXTCX2wFnZ

Trump may try to run to the Supreme Court, but the high court will decline to hear anything that he brings before them on impeachment. The Constitution is very clear on impeachment. The Supreme Court has no rule in the process, except the Chief Justice who presides over the impeachment trial in the Senate. Republicans used to hate frivolous lawsuits, but Trump is abusing the court system to delay and obstruct investigations.
Trump is being guided by the lethal combination of desperation and idiocy.
His lack of knowledge about our system of governance is going to come back to haunt him, and possibly save the nation.
