Not entirely. Many politicians will do so here because they need some framework within which to work and some authorities to cite. Others will just decide with some emotional or "gut" justification. The ones who matter - GOP senators, should it come to that - will decide based on politics. They will have aides using some form of the court rules to craft two releases:
1. Justification for throwing Trump out, if that seems the safe or advantageous political route;
2. Justification for acquitting Trump, if that seems the safe or advantageous political route.
There will be a mix of legal standards used in this stuff because either way these guys go, they have to have looked at it carefully. Also, their lawyers will be involved.
