Both articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas were deemed unconstitutional by the Senate on Wednesday in a party-line vote. The first of two articles of impeachment alleged Mayorkas engaged in the "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" regarding the southern border in his capacity as DHS secretary.

In impeachment proceedings, the House of Representatives charges an official of the federal government by approving, by simple majority vote, articles of impeachment. After the House of Representatives sends its articles of impeachment to the Senate, the Senate sits as a High Court of Impeachment to consider evidence, hear witnesses, and vote to acquit or convict the impeached official

This is a year that should bring a least 3 to 5 Senate seats to the Republicans.
Instead, these feckless tools will find a way to lose net 1.
The House is already gone.
Only Trump coattails can help the GOP but they’ll ruin that also.
Starting January 22, 2025 Trump will be impeached daily.
I live in TN and I’ll vote Trump but not for my Rep Mark Greene. He should have stuck to retiring but instead he changed his mind and then Fs us with warrantless FISA.
I’m still waiting for Incitatus to be appointed to the Senate.
We’re not voting our way out of this.
A civil war takes place when two opposing sides in the same country are fighting ...
Only one side is fighting in this country ... and it aint our side.

“Mitch McConnell refused to support anyone who didn’t pledge fealty to him”
Support?
He goes full ‘Rat Lawfare like attack on them.
He’s a pig.
Perhaps the good Citizens of America should send a copy of the Constitution to their representative if they voted to kill the Impeachment.
How can it be deemed "unconstitutional" by the Senate? It is in black and white in the Constitution. They are the tryers of fact. The Congress brings the articles of impeachment to the Senate and the Senate tries the case based on the articles to either convict or not convict.
The Democrats are blatantly ignoring the plain language and intent of the Constitution.
What part of the constitution do democrats not understand?
The singular and only role the Supreme Court has in impeachments is for the Chief Justice to preside over the Senate trial. That’s it.
It’s the same legal process as a pretrial motion to dismiss charges in a criminal case.
Here is my boilerplate exposé on Mitch McConnell's Senate leadership past.

So now what?
Republicans still think they’re dealing with old democrats when they’re actually dealing with pink nazis.
100% correct!
