This will be thrown out - absolutely inconsistent with the Constitution and the impeachment rite as established by the Supreme Court.

The impeachment vote has been annulled. For now.

The Presiudent of the Senate has said that the impeachment chronogram will carry on as scheduled, and that the Waldir Maranhão's decision (to annul the vote in the Lower house) is illegal...regardless, it will probably have to be decided by the Supreme Court, where I don't see the Justices going back on what they decided two months ago, or, the impeachment ritual which they themselves established . Never a dull moment.
