Chief Justice Roberts decrees the end of DOJ independence in an offhanded sentence on page 20.

How does this ruling impact impeachment? Are there now no high crimes or misdemeanors?

Impeachment is a completely separate act outside of the judiciary

Impeachment only removes him from office. Unclear what would happen if he then ordered the FBI and military to arrest and imprison all Senators and just stayed put. Guess it would be an "official act."

What if he’s impeached for something by the House and starts ordering Secret Service snipers (whom he preemptively pardons) to assassinate Senators who say they’ll vote against him at the Senate trial? What does anyone do about that?
