Dems willful attempt to avoid Constitutional impeachment requirement for Mayorkas

 American Action News:

Senate Republicans and legal scholars say that a possible Democratic maneuver to avoid an impeachment trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas lacks precedent and would be unconstitutional.

The House of Representatives impeached Mayorkas in February on two articles — for a “wilful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” and a “breach of the public trust” — following their criticism of him for the influx of foreign nationals entering the United States illegally through the southern border, which has exceeded 7 million during his term of office. Reports have indicated that Senate Democrats, who hold a slim majority in the body, will seek to dismiss the articles of impeachment against Mayorkas, which Republicans in Congress say they would oppose on constitutional grounds.


“I think it has never been done before in the history of our nation and we’re going to vigorously oppose it,” Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “I think it is [unconstitutional].”
...

“The right thing to do would be to refer it to the Judiciary Committee to conduct a trial and make a report to the full Senate,” Andrew McCarthy, a senior fellow at National Review Institute and Fox News legal contributor, told the DCNF. “[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.”
...

Mayorkas has failed to enforce US immigration law and apparently, the majority of Democrats also want to ignore US immigration law.  They are telling us what their priorities are and upholding the law does not appear to be one of them.  Americans who oppose illegal immigration need to vote for Republicans.

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
