The newly minted GOP majority in the House of Representatives has a lot on its plate: a debt ceiling negotiation, investigations into COVID origins, not to mention President Biden, his son Hunter, and the cavalcade of classified documents that keep showing up everywhere the president has ever been. But one matter of urgent business should not get lost in the shuffle. The impeachment of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas must be a top priority.
Democrats, and even some Republicans who disapprove of the admittedly drastic course of action, argue that the criticisms of Mayorkas are over policy, not over allegations of high crimes or misdemeanors. First of all, as we all remember quite well from the impeachments of Donald Trump, a “high crime or misdemeanor” is whatever Congress says it is, so what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Even under more traditional definitions, however, Mayorkas’ shambolic tenure has more than risen to the needed level of negligence and dishonesty.
