Not sure what jurisdiction the Supreme Court would have to weigh in on how the legislative branch conducts its hearings. Better to let it move on to the Senate where this kind of nonsense isn’t allowed.
That's what I was thinking too. How would anyone get congressional proceedings into the supreme court in the first place and under what guidelines? Has it ever been done before?

As far as I understand it, the only "not allowed" in the Senate is that the Republicans hold the majority, but that's a far cry from saying the Republicans in the Senate are on the side of President Trump or the American People.
The only way our politican machine will ever be restored to what our founding fathers envisioned it to be is to REMOVE MONEY FROM THE EQUATION.
Somewhere among the 300+million Americans eligible to hold public office, I'm pretty sure we could find enough willing to serve their county for two years with only a reasonable salary (like minimum wage) to fill the empty seats. After your two years are up, you are guaranteed your old job back, like if you had been drafted, and NO pension plan.
In fact, maybe instead of ELECTING public "servants", they should be DRAFTED.

They can very much intervene if the legislative branch is violating the Constitution, which is exactly what they are doing.

It may be, but it would delay things and really irritate the democratic candidates who have to campaign in the Spring.
