re: SCOTUS isn’t going to mess with immunity

The first part speaks of impeachment and that being impeached by, in and of itself only results in removal and disqualification from office (ie no criminal penalties for the impeachment itself-it’s a purely political mechanism). The key words from there are “but” and then “nevertheless be liable and subject to” because it means that the impeached party will not suffer criminal penalties as a result of the impeachment alone, but they (the party convicted of impeachment) “are still subject to “indictment, trial, criminal process, etc.”

This is what I’ve been saying it means.

You even say that the party convicted of impeachment “are still subject to indictment…”.

Ie, you must be convicted during impeachment to be subject to indictment.

You don’t have to be impeached to be prosecuted.

You wouldn’t be a “convicted party” then.
