They used it for partisan purposes to go after Trump because they disagreed with him. And one of the real disadvantages of doing that \u2026 is the more you weaponize it and turn it into a partisan cudgel. You know what\u2019s good for the goose is good for the gander. I said at the time when we had a Democratic president and a Republican House, you can expect an impeachment proceeding. That\u2019s not how impeachment is meant to work, but I think the Democrats crossed that line.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI think there will be enormous pressure on a Republican House to begin impeachment proceedings,\u201d Cruz continued. \u201cI think there are potentially multiple grounds to consider for impeachment. Probably the most compelling is the utter lawlessness is President Biden\u2019s refusal to enforce the border \u2014 his decision to just deify immigration laws and allow 2 million people to come in here unimpeded in direct contravention of his obligation under Article 2 of the Constitution to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.&nbsp;That\u2019s probably the strongest grounds right now for impeachment, but there may be others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd because Democrats decided this is just another tool in the partisan war chest, I think there is a real risk that turnabout will be fair play,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>(h\/t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/newsfront\/tedcruz-gop-joebiden-impeachment\/2022\/01\/03\/id\/1050874\/\">Newsmax<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Jeff Poor on Twitter <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/jeff_poor\">@jeff_poor<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) said he believes House Republicans could seek impeachment against President Joe Biden should they take control of the House of Representatives after the 2022 midterms.
