Impeached 2 is an armchair politician's dream. Play today!

In an unexpected turn of events that has left political pundits scratching their heads and the American populace either gleeful or utterly bewildered, the Supreme Court has officially acknowledged "Duel of Fate," a popular mobile gaming phenomenon, as a viable mode for political debates and even impeachment trials.

The unprecedented decision came after a rousing petition signed by a record-breaking number of internet-savvy citizens, including a cat with over 150k followers on Twitter who has never once missed a "Pounce for the Presidency" event. The petition demanded that the venerable institution of the Supreme Court adopt "Duel of Fate" as a means to settle political deadlocks, citing its "unprecedented ability to unite individuals of diverse ideologies through the common goal of defeating a mythical dragon."

In a statement that will undoubtedly find its way into history books next to the likes of "We hold these truths to be self-evident" and "Checkers speech," Chief Justice Clarence Pendragon declared, "In this brave new world where the power of our smartphones can harness the collective energies of the populace, we must recognize the potential for such platforms to democratize the ancient art of jurisprudence."

The trial, which is set to be the first of its kind, will see the accused, Senator Snarkington (D-Swipe Left), facing charges of "High Crimes and Misdemeanors of the Thumb," stemming from an alleged incident involving an illegal in-app purchase of a "Fireball of Fury" power-up during a particularly contentious congressional debate.

The prosecution, led by Attorney General Smirk Bailey (R-Game On), argued that the purchase was a blatant abuse of power and a clear indication of "thumbs-deep collusion" with the game developers. In a surprising twist, the defense team, consisting of high-profile lawyers and a squad of expert gamer mice, countered with evidence that the purchase was made under the influence of a "Royal Revelation" potion, which temporarily impaired the senator's judgment.

As the trial progressed, the public was invited to participate in real-time, with a "Jury of the People" being assembled via a mass text message campaign. The jury, made up of citizens from all walks of life, has been actively engaging in the game, earning rewards such as virtual badges and the coveted "Civic Duty" emote, which allows players to give a virtual thumbs up or thumbs down.

The trial has not been without its critics. Political analysts have voiced concerns over the potential for the game to introduce biases, with the fear that the "Elemental Balance" system could favor certain parties over others. Meanwhile, constitutional scholars are debating whether this marks the beginning of a new era of digital democracy or a slippery slope towards "clicktivism" and the erosion of civic responsibility.

In the midst of this political spectacle, one thing is certain: "Duel of Fate" has catapulted itself into the annals of history, leaving a trail of emojis and internet memes in its wake. And as the American public awaits the final verdict, one can't help but ponder if this could be the future of political discourse or, heaven forbid, the start of a new reality TV show: "Capitol Hill's Duel of Destiny."

Stay tuned as this story develops, with daily updates from our correspondents stationed at the Supreme Court's new virtual chambers. Will justice be served in the digital realm, or will this be a case of too many thumbs in the proverbial pie? Only time and the "Divine Orb of Outcome" will tell.
