Congress can’t impeach him if he didn’t commit a crime. Supreme Court can determine this. His impeachment wouldn’t be constitutional. Equal branches and all...

Yes they can. The phrase "high crimes and misdemeanors" has never been defined. It means whatever Congress says it means and unfortunately for this Congress that could mean anything from mean tweets to taking an extra scoop of ice cream.

And judicial review provides the Court with the prerogative to re-address this situation. The High Crimes and Misdemeanors standard should not simply be whatever Congress wishes, or else the House could impeach and the Senate could remove for any reason whatsoever.

Our Orange Savior is right.
We can’t have a Republic if the losing side uses everything at it’s disposal to usurp the election results that don’t go their way.
You want a Banana Republic? That’s how you get a Banana Republic.
In our system, you are supposed to lose and regroup to figure out how to win. You don’t lose and then figure out how to undo the losing.
Scary shite.

FYI, Mr Trump, Supremes already ruled that only Congress runs the impeachment process, per Constitution. There is no appeal.

The House "shall have the sole Power of Impeachment" and the Senate "shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments," according to the Constitution. A 1993 Supreme Court decision says the courts have no role to play in that process, although Chief Justice John Roberts would preside over a Senate trial.
“If the President does something dastardly, the impeachment process is available. No single prosecutor, judge, or jury should be able to accomplish what the Constitution assigns to the Congress.” -Brett Kavanaugh

Mueller had the opportunity to state that a crime was committed and that, but for him being President, Trump would be indicted. He didn't do that. By every legal standard that has ever existed in this country, there is zero legal culpability.

What crime? Mueller said there wasn't enough evidence to conclude Trump committed a crime. You are straight up lying...again

That so-called "DOJ Policy" though. The one concluding that making a sitting President defend himself against charges is to be avoided.
Sure, that document spoke specifically to criminal charges, but the analysis and justification applies equally to impeachment proceeding, if one's being honest. The basis of the DOJ document being "impermissibly undermines capacity of the executive branch to perform its constitutionally assigned functions." That boils down to "President has to turn the majority of his attention to defending himself...to the detriment of presidential duties."
That was relied upon so heavily in Mueller's choice not to pursue any charge against Trump...same wouldnt apply here in theory, if being honest?

This references the process for removal, not the legal standard required for initiating the process.

I am afraid you are correct here. The impeachment/conviction and removal process was left as a political beast. The founders assumed we as the people could hold the party in the wrong accountable as a "checks and balance" on this. The conviction and removal threshold is high as an extra safeguard. Even though congress has the power to conduct the whole process, we the voter are charged with oversight on their actions should they over-reach.

If only there where a branch of government with the constitutional responsibility to define/interpret the constitution

All the house needs to initiate the process is to bring the formal charges...The USSC can't stop that.
