"Border Crisis Accountability: The Push for Mayorkas Impeachment"

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. Senate Democrats have several options to sidestep the trial, including offering a motion to dismiss the charges, raising a point of order against the articles, or referring it to committee. Meanwhile, President Biden won the South Carolina Democratic primary, and the Senate is expected to release a major package of immigration policy changes and other provisions.
