They certainly alluded to it by telling Congress they had other tools at their disposal to deal with someone in the Executive Branch who refuses to enforce the law.The Supreme Court did not tell them to impeach him...
Baloney allegations. If he is both deporting some people and allowing others to apply for asylum per US law and treaty obligations, how is that any violation. The “public trust” was electing officials who passed the laws and ratified the treaties. Why do none of the complainers about Mayorkas or Biden even mention the Refugee Act or the relevant treaties. The President is required by law to consider asylum claims and prohibited by treaty from returning refugees to danger. Why does the law and order crowd not address the laws?Did you not read the Articles of Impeachment against Mayorkas?
It was essentially the Supreme Court who told the House to impeach Mayorkas, because the House lacked the authority to compel Mayorkas to do his job. So they had no other alternative but impeachment.
Which is why the first Article of Impeachment against Mayorkas was his willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law.
The second Article of Impeachment against Mayorkas was for his violating the public trust and his numerous lies to Congress.
Appologies, you are correct. I was under the understanding that US Embassies count as us soil for asylum.You Cannot Apply for Asylum at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate
Asylum is a form of legal protection available to certain people who cannot or would not feel safe if they tried to live in their home country, because of past persecution or the danger of future persecution based on their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
Unfortunately, U.S. embassies and consulates cannot process requests for this form of protection. That's because, under U.S. law, asylum seekers can apply only if they are physically present in the United States (or at least at a U.S. border or other point of entry).

Although a U.S. embassy or consulate cannot process applications for asylum or refugee status, they may be able to offer other forms of protection.www.nolo.com
@Bullseye
they do not....I am certain that lots of people wish they did...but they do not...I am certain though that the embassies do not wish that...they are already overworked and packed to the gills.Appologies, you are correct. I was under the understanding that US Embassies count as us soil for asylum.
They are just as legitimate as the Articles of Impeachment against Trump. Even more so, the Articles of Impeachment against Mayorkas actually involve crimes.Baloney allegations.

nah, because the Senate actually said it was unconstitutional to impeach him.They are just as legitimate as the Articles of Impeachment against Trump. Even more so, the Articles of Impeachment against Mayorkas actually involve crimes.
You don't have to worry about Biden. His impeachment trial is coming up next. Karma's a bitch, isn't it?
If there is anything we have learned in the last few years guilt or innocence is irrelevant. The left is standing on the scales of justice, currently. When the tables are turned the just won't have to make things up.Arrested for what??? He did nothing illegal.
Should he be arrested simply because you disagree with him? How very fascist Trumpian of you.
The left is doing no such thing....this is a real criminal trial, normal citizens are sitting on the jury...both sides had opportunity to disqualify jurors...If there is anything we have learned in the last few years guilt or innocence is irrelevant.

Really now…why should they regret spelling it out to the House that immigration law and passing such laws is the responsibility of Congress and cannot ask a guy to violate those lawsI predict this will be yet another Schumer precedent that his party will come to regret down the line

The Senate via vote dismissed the charges, because it was unconstitutional and lacked a high crimeThe impeachment was dumb. I didn’t support it and think it was a massive wrong, as impeaching someone for what is ultimately a policy disagreement and an interpretation difference is idiotic.
That said, they DID impeach him. It’s now the senates job to hold the trial. Said trial would undoubtedly show result in an acquittal, and that’s fine, but still the process should be gone through. By not going through the process Schumer establishes a precedent for future impeachment that if the majority has the votes to quash it immediately they can do so without actually running through a full trial.
Is he still the head of DHS?LOL, Yeah because of a crooked Senate Majority Leader - Majerkoff was still impeached.
He is and charges were dismissed because the impeachment was unconstitutional which essentially means the impeachment vote in the House was invalidated by the SenateIs he still the head of DHS?
You're dreaming.They are just as legitimate as the Articles of Impeachment against Trump. Even more so, the Articles of Impeachment against Mayorkas actually involve crimes.
You don't have to worry about Biden. His impeachment trial is coming up next. Karma's a bitch, isn't it?
Well, then.He is and charges were dismissed because the impeachment was unconstitutional which essentially means the impeachment vote in the House was invalidated by the Senate
The Senate via vote dismissed the charges, because it was unconstitutional and lacked a high crime
No, the House was asked to define what the high crime and misdemeanor or bribery were and they essentially told him not required and since it specifically defines those as the reason to impeach and they failed, it’s unconstitutional.Right, which is a massive departure from past precedence and ultimately a subjective opinion of the majority. This establishes a precedence that if the majority thinks the impeachment is illegitimate they can simply vote to dismiss it without a trial.
Note that you had republicans claiming that both of Trumps impeachments were unconstitutional and had no high crime. Yet they had both trials. You can be almost certain now that if the republicans win the senate and the White House in 2024, if an impeachment occurs against Donald Trump there is almost 0% shot that it goes to trial now.
You've just forfeited to right to criticize republican dirty tricks.Is he still the head of DHS?
How is it a dirty trick? At this point the law says clearly that there are no numerical limits on how many can apply for asylum. Biden wanted to change that…you guys blocked thatYou've just forfeited to right to criticize republican dirty tricks.
What dirty tricks? The GOP had no case.You've just forfeited to right to criticize republican dirty tricks.
It is relevant and Trump is guilty.If there is anything we have learned in the last few years guilt or innocence is irrelevant. The left is standing on the scales of justice, currently. When the tables are turned the just won't have to make things up.
Show your work.They are just as legitimate as the Articles of Impeachment against Trump. Even more so, the Articles of Impeachment against Mayorkas actually involve crimes.
You don't have to worry about Biden. His impeachment trial is coming up next. Karma's a bitch, isn't it?
The left is doing no such thing....this is a real criminal trial, normal citizens are sitting on the jury...both sides had opportunity to disqualify jurors...
I am grateful that that POS didn't end up on the Supreme Court.It is relevant and Trump is guilty.
Hence, why even 7 Republicans in the Senate voted for Trump's conviction during his impeachment trial in Feb 2021 after Jan 6.
And you should be grateful that Merrick Garland is AG. He has dragged his feet constantly regarding the DOJ investigations of Trump's crimes, which is why Trump STILL hasn't faced trial 3 years after leaving office.
