TL;DR Summary

Senate Democrats are planning to scuttle the House GOP’s efforts to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, with multiple justifications to avoid a Senate trial altogether, including the founders' intent for impeachment, due process issues, and the potential for a PR spectacle.
