Actually the constitutional precedents go against it being subject to court challenge. It's not a 100% impossibility, but it would be very difficult to challenge your impeachment conviction in a separate judicial proceeding (not to mention that the Supreme Court probably wouldn't even agree to hear the case because they would say their job is to defer to the legislature on impeachment rules and results of conviction, which is true).
"The judiciary, and the Supreme Court in particular, were not chosen to have any role in impeachments" that's from a 1993 SCOTUS case. So, looks like again you don't know what you're talking about.
It's also arguable about whether it requires a separate vote. Some might say it does, but there's also precedent for viewing it as a default outcome of a conviction.
Glad to have helped you become more informed today! Just another positive to today on top of the inauguration!
