The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution of impeachment against Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas on February 13, 2024...The catalyst for the House's extraordinary action...was a decision reached by the U.S. Supreme Court last June 23...That decision, U.S. v. Texas, dramatically altered the balance of power between the executive branch, Congress, and the states in instances where the executive branch chooses to...less than faithfully execute the immigration laws of our nation.

John Roberts - the Chief Justice appointed by George W. Bush - concurred with Kavanaugh and the three neo-Marxist Justices.
Mayorkas needs to be hanged for treason.
Sometimes the government follows the law.
And sometimes the government does not follow the law.
And whenever the government decides that it doesn’t feel like following the law, it announces that someone “doesn’t have standing”.
That renders the oath of office worthless. It also says that the executive branch of the government can do whatever the heck it wants to, making the president able to be a tyrannical dictator, and that fighting it is fruitless.
That begs the obvious question: If they don't, who does?
How about, at a very minimum, he be required to wear a bag over his ugly mug in public?
I was among a distinct minority who took the position that we should have passed on Kavanaugh (for several reasons I outlined at the time).
Just sayin’.
If someone is impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate, the person is ipso facto removed from office and the Supreme Court has no standing in the matter. So that’s congress’s ability to force the government to faithfully execute the laws, and that’s what the House did. Now it’s up to the Senate, but we all know how that’s gonna go. Nevertheless, that’s how Congress could force it, if they chose to do so.
Right before Blinken and Sullivan.
“That begs the obvious question: If they don’t, who does?”
We do.

They may as well strip all laws pertaining to immigration from the record. If no one can force a President to enforce A law, no one can force a President to enforce any law.
That would be a TV event for the ages!
Not really.

So if Trump decides not to execute the law that created the DHS (or FBI or EPA) and simply disbands the agency there is no legal remedy other than electing someone else in 4 years and having them re-form it?
And after that, Congress should seriously take the necessary steps to ensure that no one born on foreign soil ever again holds a position in the executive branch.
"Brett Kavanaugh - a Trump appointee - actually wrote the 5-4 supporting opinion that individuals, states, and Congress, have no standing to compel the Executive Branch of government to "faithfully execute the laws.""

How could the nation possibly have survived without the 17th Amendment (17A; mob voting for federal senators)? /super-sarc
Not only does Congress have the power to impeach anybody in executive branch, including presidents, which cocky activist justices seem to be ignoring, at least until patriots elect a new patriot Senate, but Congress also has the power to impeach Supreme Court justices. This is evidenced by the impeachment of Justice Samuel Chase.
"Samuel Chase, an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, was impeached by the United States House of Representatives on March 12, 1804 on eight articles of impeachment alleging misconduct....
The impeachment was a partisan affair. It was an effort by the Thomas Jefferson-led Democratic–Republican Party to weaken a judiciary that had been largely shaped by the opposing Federalist Party. ..." —Impeachment of Samuel Chase
The problem is that today's post-FDR era, institutionally indoctrinated activist Supreme Court justices know that they are protected by the likewise corrupt, post-17A ratification Senate who confirmed them in the first place. This is why Democratic and Republican Trump-supporters must support hopeful Trump 47 with a new patriot Congress in November that will support him to finish draining the swamp, hopefully including some liberal justices.
Sander will let them stay at his Moscow home to keep them safe all of them feel at home at last.
The article addresses that.
