Republican senators are reportedly planning to obstruct legislative proceedings in the Senate if a full trial into the articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is not conducted. Sources have revealed that around a dozen GOP senators have been strategizing for over a week to impede regular Senate business unless certain points of order are addressed in the impeachment trial.
According to Senate Republican aides, any single senator can disrupt Senate operations by objecting to unanimous consent, a key element in Senate proceedings. Discussions on this potential obstruction have been ongoing for some time, with several senators expressing support for slowing down or halting legislative activities if the impeachment trial is not given due consideration.
