mr. schumer: madam president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: madam president, yesterday the senate set a very important precedent that impeachment should be reserved only for high crimes and misdemeanors and not for settling policy disagreements. that is what the impeachment against alejandro mayorkas was from the start, a policy dispute frankly to help donald trump on the campaign trail. it did not meet the high standard required by the constitution to remove someone from office. i am very glad the senate worked its will to set these charges aside. the prudence and cool judgment the senate showed yesterday is what the framers would have wanted. they didn't want impeachment to be used for every policy dispute when you don't agree with a cabinet minister -- a cabinet secretary, you impeach them. that would have created chaos in the executive branch and here in the senate. because the house could just throw over impeachment after impeachment, and if you'd have to have a whole big trial on every one of them, the senate could be ground a ha

mr. schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: mr.sident, former president trump reminded us just a few days ago that he, he is to blame for the grotesque reversal of women's personal freedom. he said it himself. he said he is, quote, proudly the person responsible for the annihilation of roe v. wade. let me repeat those words, because the american people need to hear it over and over again. donald trump said, quote, he's proudly the person responsible, unquote, for ending roe. and yesterday, we saw just another consequence of a post-roe america, the arizona supreme court upheld a civil war era law banning abortion almost entirely, without exception for rape or incest. the arizona supreme court designings goes -- decision goes as far to suggest doctors can be prosecuted for assisting in an abortion. all these regressive maga judges on the supreme court, in some of the other federal courts, and in the state courts, all come from donald trump and he appointing maga judges and his goal to restrict women's freedoms and to have roe v. wade

mr. schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: mr. president, i'd like to begin today by saying a few things about the protests at columbia university. smashing windows with hammers and taking over university buildings is not free speech. it is lawlessness. and those who did it should promptly face the consequences that are not merely a slap on the wrist. free speech, discussion, and even strong disagreement are fundamental american values and campuses should be places where those values are cherished. campuses cannot be places of learning and argument and discussion when protests veer into criminality, and those who commit such acts are doing nothing to convince others that their cause is just. it is also unacceptable when jewish students are targeted for being jewish, when protests exhibit verbal abuse, systemic intimidation, or glorification of the murderous and hateful hamas or the violence of october 7. as i said in my speech here on the floor last november and many times since, that is anti-semitism. it is loathful. it is unacce

mr. schumer. we're ready to go. but it leads us back to this point. even the biden administration agrees with it. if an executive branch agencies has fully abdicated its statutory requirements, its duties, its responsibilities, there is really only one alternative. and the house did its job. we impeached. and now it's time for the senate to do its job and let that trial take place and let us see if secretary mayorkas should be removed from his office. that's what the founders intended, that's what history has indicated, and that's what is necessary in this case. and with that, i turn it back over to my friend and senator from utah, mr. lee. >> right. let's open up for questions. >> yeah. >> what steps can you take to try and force a trial the take mace, and are you already negotiating with democrats for the process tomorrow to try and come up with opportunities to prevent options in terms of forcing a trial? >> you know, look, we convene at 1:00 whereupon we'll be sworn in to be the deciders of fact and judges of the law in this case. after that motio

mr. schumer goes back to the correct c onstitutional approach which is dealing with that trial. >> yeah,nd we're going to do it. this is, look, again, regardless of how you feel, i mean, if politically speaking, new york belongs on mount rush mother of worst cabinet members in the history of the united states. from a legal perspective, he's subverting the laws of the united states whether parole or catch and release and memos and urging employees to ignore long standing immigration laws lawsd there's evidence presented and vote to convict or not convict depending on how you see it and the fact is it's really important that the senate actually does this because chuck schumer is sort of acting like a day trader here and very short sided and if he does this, if he actually does this and if he nukes impeachment trials in the senate, which is what he's proposing, there won't be one again. there won't be one if the party in the senate is the same party of the official coming over. we have a higher calling, due to constitution and we've always abided by that, and it shouldn't change because chu

mr. s impeachment. now in 2019, right before the democrats started in on president trump and an impeachment trial for president trump, leader schumer stood right here in this chamber, and he said we have a responsibility to let all the facts come out. we have to remember our constitutional duty to act as judges and jurors in a potential trial. now those are his comments at that point in time. he was all for an impeachment trial. and it is our constitutional duty. you can look at article 1, sections 2 and section 3. section 2 lays out the responsibility of the house in impeachment. section 3 pertains to the senate and how we are to proceed with the trial of impeachment. but as i said, leader schumer has decided that he wants to change his tune, and all of a sudden he is not wanting this, even though we actually have a public officeholder who deserves to stand for impeachment trial. and that is secretary mayorkas. and now that it is, the shoe is on the other foot, if you will, and now that it is a democrat, leader schumer wants to change the rules and say, no. he's even willing to take unprecedented actions that this chamber has neve
