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

In a series of events more shocking than a political operative caught in a compromising position with a lobbyist at a black-tie gala, the impeachment trial of President Gasbag Marcellus has hit a new and entirely unexpected snag. It turns out that the Supreme Court, often as passive as a spectator at a legislative opera, has decided to take a more active role in the proceedings.

The controversy erupted when it was disclosed that the nine justices, who had been living in seclusion like hermit monks with unlimited access to legal tomes, had secretly formed an alliance with the ghost of Alexander Hamilton. Yes, that Alexander Hamilton, the guy who died two centuries ago but somehow managed to keep his pen and legal pad handy for this rare occasion.

The ghostly consultant is said to have provided the Supreme Court with "insightful commentary" on the Constitution, which, as it turns out, was written in a language so cryptic even the smartest politicians claim to need a translator. Hamilton's spectral advice apparently suggested that the Supreme Court had the power to either accelerate the impeachment trial or, quite literally, bring the House of Representatives and the Senate to a juddering halt like a clown car with a faulty engine.

The Senate, which until now had been as unpredictable as a weather forecast in a bubble, found itself divided. On one side, the impeachment managers, who were more excited about the trial than a kid on Christmas morning with a brand-new drone, were apoplectic with rage. They claimed that this newfound Supreme Court involvement was akin to having a referee change the rules mid-game of a political football match.

On the other side, the defense team, who had been juggling legal arguments like circus performers on a sugar rush, saw this as an opportunity to delay the trial long enough for the public to lose interest faster than a diet-soda fan at a candy buffet.

The House Democrats, who had been rallying their troops with the ferocity of a drill sergeant at boot camp, were in a frenzy, claiming that this development was the latest example of the deep state's clandestine plot to undermine democracy. Meanwhile, the Republicans were celebrating what they deemed a "Supreme coup," and started planning a parade in the justices' honor.

The Supreme Court, for its part, issued a statement that was as ambiguous as a fortune cookie's message, leaving the entire political spectrum with more questions than a philosopher at a buffet. The justices, with the exception of the one who had accidentally ordered a vegan meal in a meat-lovers' paradise, remained stoically silent, their next move as enigmatic as a magician's trick at a kid's birthday party.

As the nation holds its breath, awaiting the Supreme Court's next move like a child waiting for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, one thing is clear: the impeachment trial is about to get more interesting than a reality TV show where the contestants are all political dynasty members with a secret love child to reveal. Stay tuned, dear readers, because this political soap opera is just getting started.
