TEDITORIAL: Golden Opportunity - "But if the court must rule now, it can stop short of overturning the Senate conviction, not because of Senate was right (it was wrong) but because the CJ accepted the verdict, and that on slim & personal ground, declare the petitions moot. What will this achieve? It will show the hypocrisy of justices who conspired for an easy impeachment but who must fear that same ease will be used against the sitting president or against the justices by the next administration. It is in one's interest for the court to declared the petitions moot and the senate conviction right. But it is in the interest of democracy for the court to discuss the demerits of the last impeachment & lay down the template of a proper impeachment and trial leading to a rightful conviction. this is a golden opportunity for the justices to show off their learning --- or not.
