A disgrace for the US Senate
By Victoria White Berger
There is no more room in our country for fools; we are full up. We have been bested by the best of fools — the U.S. Senate, in which today, mostly thanks to Chuck Schumer but really thanks to all the Democrats in the Senate, it has been made clear that no tradition, no constitutional respect, and no national empathy exists anymore on Capitol Hill. The American people are past being outmaneuvered and now stand askance, beaten down by the fools and rogues in D.C. with far too much power on their hands and far too weak to care. These senators all well know the critical jam we’re in with Biden’s open border — and today, they not only let us know they don’t care, but rub our noses in it, not even allowing our fears and our despair their day in court.
The Republicans were outfoxed and shamed by the most cynical “point of order” from Majority Leader Schumer at his bully pulpit. (Senator John Kennedy called Schumer’s point of order “specious,” and right he was.) Schumer unilaterally declared that the first article of impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas, brought to the Senate from the House, was ‘unconstitutional” because it did not delineate impeachable offenses. Total hogwash. Article 2 went by the boards next and in similar fashion. Every Democrat in the Senate upheld Schumer’s point of order by their votes, despite repeated attempts from the Republicans in motions to redirect, or postpone, the cataclysm. There would be no discussion, no evidence, no precedent, no postponement, and no trial — only disgrace.
