Senate Democrats become complicit in Biden's open borders policy

 Federalist Wire:

Senate Republicans and legal experts contend that a potential Democratic tactic to sidestep an impeachment trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is unprecedented and would violate the Constitution.

In February, the House of Representatives impeached Mayorkas on two counts, accusing him of “wilful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” and a “breach of the public trust,” primarily due to criticisms over the surge of foreign nationals entering the United States through the southern border, exceeding 7 million during his tenure. Reports suggest Senate Democrats, holding a narrow majority, aim to dismiss the impeachment articles against Mayorkas, a move Republicans oppose on constitutional grounds.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, emphasizing the unprecedented nature of the move, stated, “I think it has never been done before in the history of our nation and we’re going to vigorously oppose it.”

Andrew McCarthy, a legal expert, argued that Democrats opt for dismissal to avoid public scrutiny of Biden administration policies. He said, “[T]hey’ve calculated that it’s better to take some heat for refusing to hold a trial than to allow House Republican impeachment managers and Senate Republicans in the Judiciary Committee make a public record on Biden administration border policy in the high-profile context of an impeachment trial against a Biden cabinet member.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell anticipates Schumer’s move to swiftly dismiss the articles, though he prefers a full trial. McConnell stated, “I expect he will do that, and the Democrats have a majority, so it may not go very long…my preference would be to actually have a trial.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson and 11 Republican “impeachment managers” urged Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to conduct a full trial for Mayorkas, citing the Senate’s “constitutional duty” to do so.

Republican senators, including Ron Johnson and James Lankford, criticized the proposed dismissal. Johnson argued, “We have a constitutional responsibility to take up that impeachment and render a verdict, and just dismissing it I don’t think is an adequate way of rendering a verdict.”

Senator John Cornyn condemned the unprecedented nature of dismissing impeachment articles, highlighting the Senate’s obligation to consider evidence and render judgment.

“The Majority Leader is expected to take the completely unprecedented step of voting to table the impeachment articles and eliminate a trial entirely, in violation of the Constitution,” Cornyn shared while recognized on the Senate floor recently.

Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee stressed the Senate’s obligation to vote on impeachment articles and conduct a trial, as outlined in the Constitution.

“The Constitution, Senate rules and precedent are clear: The Senate has an obligation to vote on articles of impeachment,” U.S. Senator Ted Cruz wrote alongside Republican colleague and ally in the Congressional Upper Chamber, Mike Lee.

Democrats are putting their goofball Presdient and Mayorkas ahead of their constitutional duty.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
