BREAKING: Sen. Mike Lee Brings Business to a Halt in US Senate Until Democrats Hold Impeachment Trial for DHS Secretary Mayorkas – For Deliberately Implementing Open Borders Disaster | The Gateway Pundit

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) on Monday promised to halt US Senate enterprise till Democrats maintain an impeachment trial for DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

For weeks now Senate Majority Chief Chuck Schumer has refused to carry the Senate trial for DHS Secretary Mayorkas.

Constitutional knowledgeable Hans Von Spakovsky not too long ago informed Grant Stinchfield and the Actual America Voice viewers that holding an impeachment trial just isn’t an choice for Democrats – it’s their obligation in line with the US Structure!

Hans Von Spakovsky: The Senate has a particular rule that it put in place, a parliamentary rule, to deal with impeachments. The rule was carried out again within the Nineteen Eighties. That rule requires a trial. There isn’t any language in there in anyway that merely permits a movement to dismiss and a vote on a movement to dismiss. Plus, look, the Structure says the Home votes on whether or not to question a federal official, and the Senate then is liable for holding a trial and figuring out whether or not they’re responsible or ought to be acquitted. There’s nothing in there about not h not holding a trial and easily throwing it out.

Tonight Senator Lee is holding Democrats accountable and is halting enterprise till Democrats maintain the DHS Secretary’s impeachment trial!

Right here is Senator Lee’s speech from moments in the past.

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT): Madam President, I rise at the moment to talk in help of my movement to desk the Ramona Manglona nomination. My problem with the nominee at hand just isn’t with the nominee at hand. In truth, she’s fairly effectively certified. She handed out of the Judiciary Committee on which I serve, with my help, my vote in committee of 21 to zero.

The Senate shouldn’t be processing nominees proper now. The Senate ought to be laser-focused as a substitute on getting ready for the trial for Division of Homeland Safety Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, whom the Home impeached in February. As a substitute of confirming one more nominee, we ought to be contemplating an organizing decision to arrange that trial, which we’re constitutionally compelled to conduct. However sadly, that’s not what we’re doing. As a substitute, Senator Schumer is getting ready to enact a nuclear choice by tabling the articles of impeachment.

For the primary time in American historical past Senate Democrats wish to keep away from even analyzing the proof offered towards Mayorkas. We shouldn’t be going about enterprise as common whereas Senator Schumer prepares to nuke the Senate. If this movement to desk is profitable, then with respect to Manglona, we might transfer to legislative enterprise to contemplate an organizing decision for the impeachment trial.

I ask my colleagues for help. To that finish, Madam President, I transfer to desk the nomination of Ramona Villagomes, Manglona, and ask for the yays and nays.

The Senate doesn’t get to disregard its obligation and provides Secretary Mayorkas a move for his border catastrophe.
