I am grateful for the comments that have been made by so many colleagues today in this colloquy and for the insights they have shared. Each comes from a different State, bringing a different set of perspectives to the table, a different…

Before he had his name changed legally--for purposes of this Chamber--to the junior Senator from Missouri, Attorney General Eric Schmitt was one of the Nation's leading legal minds engaged in this problem, engaged in trying to address the…

I thank the Senator from Utah so much for organizing this. Madam President, I think it is so important for the American people to really understand what did happen here today. And what we saw happen here today is a violation of our oath…

Well, let's see, obviously, spreading what they deem misinformation on the internet might be a felony. I suppose at some point--

I would love to respond to that point briefly, if I could, please. What we have done is to effectively immunize this against impeachability--immunize making false statements. And going back to the original question, I don't know. Maybe…

Senator Ricketts is the former Governor of Nebraska. I would love to get your perspective on this. The PRESIDING OFFICER. (Ms. CORTEZ MASTO). The Senator from Nebraska.

Who wouldn't be offended by the use of the term ``kangaroo court.'' In fact, the entire marsupial world will be offended by this.

That is exactly what he said. That is exactly what he said when he made this motion, because he stood up and he said: I raise a point of order that impeachment article II does not allege conduct that rises to a level of high crime or…

Madam President, as wrong as the majority leader was moments ago in making this particular point of order as to article I, the impeachment article--article I, remember, refers to the willful defiance by Secretary Mayorkas of the law. As…

Madam President, what we witnessed today is truly historic. This has never occurred. Nothing like this has ever occurred. Under article I, section 3, clause 6, we have been given a duty. We have been given the sole exclusive power to try…

That is precisely what the precedent established today stands for. That is--we have effectively--by this vote that the Democrats forced through, not even allowing us to debate this--and this is why I raised a point of order--or this is why…

Mr. President, we gathered just a couple of hours ago to receive the impeachment articles on Alejandro Mayorkas, who is the Secretary of Homeland Security. How interesting that, as we look at going through this impeachment, we have Senator…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from Tennessee. Mayorkas Impeachment

Mr. President, we have a job to do. That job is not optional. It is assigned to us by the United States Constitution--a document to which we have all sworn an oath under article I, section 3, clause 6. The Senate has the power and, I would…

Our Founding Fathers believed that democracy and our system of government could only prosper in a Western society guided by Judeo-Christian values. I raised my son with these values, and he is raising his sons with this same set of values…

Madam President, I submit the following notice in writing: In accordance with Rule V of the Standing Rules of the Senate, I hereby give notice in writing that it is my intention to move to suspend the following portion of paragraph 1 of…

Madam President, the House impeached Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. He is the second Cabinet official to be impeached in all American history. The last Cabinet member to be impeached was William W. Belknap in 1876. The Senate held trials in…

It is, indeed, unfortunate that this has happened. We have followed the model of previous resolutions that have been used in order to set up impeachment debates. This one was based off of one of the impeachment trials of the 45th President…
