The United States Senate was supposed to hold the impeachment trial of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas beginning at 1 PM Eastern Wednesday. It actually proved to be a historically rapid dismissal by the Democrats.
As The Washington Post reported, the Senate at Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) urging voted to dismiss both articles of impeachment against Mayorkas, who has presided over the worst border crisis in America history.
Democrats voted along party lines on the first article of impeachment which charges Mayorkas with “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law,” finding the charge unconstitutional. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (RINO-Alaska) voted present.
“Title 8, U.S.C. § 1324(a) defines several distinct offenses related to
aliens. Subsection 1324(a)(1)(i)-(v) prohibits alien smuggling, domestic
transportation of unauthorized aliens, concealing or harboring
unauthorized aliens, encouraging or inducing unauthorized aliens to
enter the United States, and engaging in a conspiracy or aiding and
abetting any of the preceding acts. Subsection 1324(a)(2) prohibits
bringing or attempting to bring unauthorized aliens to the United States
in any manner whatsoever, even at a designated port of entry. Subsection
1324(a)(3).”
‘Insult to Americans’: Senate majority ‘nuked’ Constitution’s impeachment process in holding no trial for Mayorkas, Schmitt argues
Democrats “diminished the institution of the Senate today and set ablaze the Constitution,” Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt said in a statement Wednesday after the chamber’s majority summarily dismissed impeachment charges against the secretary of Homeland Security without a trial.
“When Joe Biden and the Democrat Party talk about threats to democracy, they need to take a good long look in the mirror,” he added.
Senate Democrats voted in unison, 51-48 and 51-49, to dismiss the two charges against Alejandro Mayorkas to avoid allowing evidence of the open border and its dangers to be presented at a trial. Roll Call news agency called the historic development “a show of procedural hardball” from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and his lockstep Democrat caucus.

What’s the best argument for impeaching, and ultimately removing, Mayorkas?
“The best argument for impeaching him is, he’s subverted the laws of the United States,” Schmitt summed up.
“Our immigration laws are very clear about when you’re supposed to detain and deport, not catch and release. He has gone out of his way to violate immigration law time and time again, to the detriment of the American people: record fentanyl overdoses, national security risks. There are terrorists in this country now. He’s flying them in. They’re coming across the border unabated.
“It’s a total disaster. And it’s on purpose.
“And for those reasons, this guy should not only just be on the Mount Rushmore of the worst Cabinet members of all time, but he should be removed from office.
A government of laws, and not of men. “A government of laws, and not of men.” This statement by John Adams encapsulates the essence of a fair and just society, where the rule of law serves as the foundation. By emphasizing the importance of laws over the influence and whims of individuals, Adams highlights the significance of an impartial system that governs societies. Simply put, it means that no one should be above the law, and everyone should be subjected to its power. This principle ensures equality, protection of rights, and the prevention of tyranny.
