(253 posts)At the same time he should point out that there can be no cognizable appeal to ANY COURT from a decision in the Senate upon trial of a duly proposed House impeachment of the president to call witnesses. Equally, and just as importantly, there would be no cognizable appeal to ANY COURT from a decision in such trial to reject a claim of executive or attorney - client privilege. And he should
announce that as the presiding officer in the current impeachment trial he would rule against assertions of such privileges.
Of course the Senate could overrule his ruling, but then the Republican Senators would each have to consider whether they wanted to go down in history as going against the ruling of the Chief Justice of the United States.
In thinking about this, bear in mind that in ordinary court proceedings these privileges do NOT apply when the communication in question involves criminal activity itself.
