Trump thinks the Supreme Court can save him from impeachment (it can’t)

"Trump could “head to the U.S. Supreme Court,” but there’s literally nothing justices could do for him, even if they wanted to. The judiciary has no authority to help or hinder the impeachment proceedings. The president doesn’t know that, and while that’s embarrassing, he nevertheless seems eager to let everyone know just how confused he is. In the process, Trump is also offering a peek into his perspective on problem-solving. When he finds himself in a jam, the president seems to instinctively look for a fixer: Trump has spent his tenure assuming that everyone from his attorney general to his congressional allies to his White House counsel can simply make his problems go away for him. As of this morning, the president seems to think the Supreme Court can even rescue him from the threat of impeachment. It cannot."
