1/x By threatening to not hold a trial for Mayorkas's impeachment, Chuck Schumer is breaking Senate precedent.
There have been 21 impeachments sent to the Senate. The Senate held a full trial for 17 of these impeachments.
2/x Of the impeachments that did not receive a trial, two were mooted because the person resigned, one was dismissed for jurisdictional grounds, and the House withdrew the impeachment in the final one.
None of these exceptions apply to Mayorkas, so the trial should proceed.
3/x The left is lying and arguing that Chuck Schumer's egregious threat does not break precedent. Here are the facts showing why that is not true:
Here's Joe Biden endorsing the Women’s Health Protection Act, legislation that would have codified abortion on demand up until birth in all 50 states. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
1/x Joe Biden and Biden administration officials are pathologically obsessed with undermining Israel. Since day one of their administration, they have launched campaigns against our Israeli allies that are granular, whole of government, and done in secret.
2/x This new boycott of Israeli Jews is yet another example. The State Department is telling the entire U.S. government not to cooperate with Jews in Judea and Samaria. And, of course, it was sent to Congress in secret and only revealed because reporters found out.
3/x The Biden administration defends funding scientific research in Wuhan with the Chinese Communist Party, but they’re discriminating against and banning cooperation with Jews based on where they live.
Our economy is now on the edge of what would be a fiscal catastrophe all because of the Biden administration’s ineptitude.
After doing next to nothing to avoid a rail strike, President Biden assured the American people that this matter was settled. That was a brazen lie. 1/x
Now, this admin expects Congress to step into the dispute & pick winners & losers.
As a matter of principle, I don’t support gov intervention to decide terms of employment. We shld extend the cooling-off period, as Congress has done b4, & send both parties back to the table. 2/x
For that reason, I was proud to cosponsor Senator Sullivan’s amendment to extend the cooling-off period and allow the negotiations to continue in order to reach a resolution that addresses the needs of both sides. 3/x
Texas Bar 'examined the Grievance and determined that the information alleged does not demonstrate Professional Misconduct or a Disability. Pursuant to the Texas Rules of Disciplinary Procedure, this matter has therefore been classified as an Inquiry and has been dismissed.' 2/x
Translation: The Texas Bar found the complaint to be baseless. 3/x
