he could try to appeal to SCOTUS who would dismiss motion for certiorari (and possibly cite Nixon). Trumps feelings have no bearing on anything - or at least they shouldn't. The problem is Trump supporters are little pansy snowflakes who don't want their or their Great Leader's feeling to get hurt. As a practical matter on the electorate people who decry decency and don't care for the feelings of others while expecting their irrational feelings to matter are going to be an electoral block but one which successive elections show can only impact the outcome of US elections if there is pandering to them and apportionment advantage (the argument is not that the Electoral College is a bad thing but rather that it generates an apportionment advantage). Things like felony disenfranchisement at state level (in particular where you have one set of drug crimes resulting in treatment and no felony attachment while another set of drugs results in disenfranchisement and the difference between the two sets of drug crimes is demographics - Florida is particularly poignant here - - somewhat ironically though the Miami-Dade drug court which has allowed several hundred numnuts with a hardon hatred for Hillary Clinton to evade felony disenfranchisement was setup by Janet Reno) and efforts by some states to lock out voters all feed into the problem of a profoundly undemocratic populist movement that demands apportionment advantage and when it looses resorts to feigned populism. Never confuse populism with democracy, and never assume that a cult figure has more support than the numnuts voting for them.

Yes, this is ultimately what I meant by going to court. Democrats saying its constitutional regardless if Trump left office, and Republicans saying its unconstitutional as he already left office, somebody would have to decide if Trump wasn't acquitted.
