It’s not a civil or criminal matter. Impeachment is inherently a political process. This ruling has near-zero bearing on it.
It’s civil the clause even specifically refers to civil officers, it’s a civil process like every other process don’t by the government. There is no such thing as a political process.
It’s not civil because it doesn’t sit in the jurisdiction of a civil court or a court sitting in equity. Stop trying to use technical terms when you clearly have no grasp of their meaning.
There is such thing as a political process and the doctrine behind it was laid out decades before you were born. If you’d care to learn about the topic there have been countless law review articles written on the subject.
It doesn’t need to be in a court to be a civil matter it just needs to be codified in law and not criminal. I’d say you need to take your own advice.
There’s simply not, there’s administrative process but literally zero “political process” exists in law in the United States. None.
