    Dont just wring your hands in despair: It is not too late to censure Schumer for his childish rant on the steps of the Supreme Court. His 'temper tantrum' encouraging violence against sitting Supreme Court Justices was a disgusting display of unbridled childish behavior, not even fitting for a juvenile, much less a U S Senator. The non-response by the Senate is equally disturbing! Congress is busy feasting on the carcass of a dead, dying or diseased government. Thanks a lot!

      There was ZERO constitutional basis for the impeachment. Constitutional experts of all political persuasions, left, right and center, have widely criticized and ridiculed the effort by the GOP. You cannot and should not impeach a Cabinet Secretary for implementing the policies of his boss, the President, because you do not like those policies. Impeachment was never meant to be a tool to resolve public policy debates. The House GOP ignored the Constitutions in starting this clown show, so the Senate doing the same to end it is 100% fair.

The Senate must hold a trial on the charges that the House brings. They are the jurors, not the prosecutors. Jurors do not have the authority to dismiss charges without holding a trial. This is reserved for the prosecutors. By this action, the Senate is arrogating to itself authority that is solely vested in the House.

      How is the Boarder secure when the influx in illegal crossing is substantial and only went up when Biden got into office and Mayorkas was appointed?
      Like seriously, if you haven't even researched what's going on, why bother commenting as if what you're stating is facts? Go read instead of just blindly backing your party just because of your political beliefs. That's the main issue in all of this.
      It's very clear to the majority of the American people that the Boarder has been wide open, the laws already in place weren't being followed and if you're a Demecrat, nothing is wrong in what you do. But if you're Republican everything you do is wrong.
