House Republicans moved in historic fashion and impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas by a single vote on Tuesday night, succeeding on their second try in punishing the steward of President Biden’s immigration policy.
The unprecedented and partisan resolution — which cleared the House over opposition from Democrats and three GOP members — may not go very far in the Senate, as some Republicans in the upper chamber do not believe that Mayorkas’s actions clear the bar for the high crimes and misdemeanors necessary for conviction. But Mayorkas is the first sitting Cabinet secretary to be impeached and some bipartisan and legal observers worry that the most serious tool the U.S. Constitution provides to rein in a public official is being misused as partisan weapon.

Sigh. Just when you think the GOP can’t embarrass themselves even more, someone shouts “Hold my beer!”
I don’t think they are embarrassed by it. They know thry don’t have our vote it’s only to keep the trumpy grumpies happy and hope they can pull some shenanigans to win.
Oh, agreed on all counts. I was being sarcastic — and a little frustrated with their lack of common decency and shame.
Ah crap I should have looked at the username, probably would have been a clue.
