That's a nonsensical statement because this process is a legal charade. The rules are whatever the House says they are, evidentiary / testimonial standards were suspended and foundational canons of justice were stood on their head.

When an article of impeachment is based upon the denial of the right of the President to seek redress in the courts -- that the action of challenging the validity of subpoenas against the separation of powers is considered contempt of Congress, the argument that one needs to be a lawyer to comment is preposterous. The Democrats are extinguishing "the law" as a guiding principle for impeachment.

What's next, will the Democrats seek to file judicial impeachment articles against SCOTUS Justices for granting certiorari, for deciding to hear the President's arguments?

The process is entirely political and thus it can be rebutted as such. The old bird needs to stay in her lane and abide by the rule that SCOTUS does not offer advisory opinions.
