Impeach the bum!
By Frank Friday
You can tell what a good idea it is to impeach Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, just by all the screeching leftists who oppose the idea. MSNBC and their brethren have devoted endless hours to proclaiming there is no evidence on which to base his removal. Except, of course, for the millions of illegals and tons of fentanyl welcomed through our borders without objection.
What we have is a grotesque dereliction of duty by the secretary (who for some odd reason is the spitting image of the Japanese anime character Krillin) and under the terms of Article I he can be impeached and removed for “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
This means, as Alexander Hamilton explained, in Federalist No. 65: “those offences which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated political, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself.”
The House impeachment articles state ad nauseum Mayorkas’ constant refusal to do his job or follow dozens of laws he is obliged to enforce. To a certain extent, officers of the executive department have flexibility in carrying out their duties, but they cannot simply refuse to do them at all. Any more than officials of the Treasury department could ignore random visitors entering their premises and walking off with bags of money.
