Advancing American Freedom issued the following statement after the Senate dismissed articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Mayorkas.
“The U.S. Senate derelicted its constitutional duty to hold a trial today by voting to dismiss articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Mayorkas without rendering judgement, said AAF Executive Director Paul Teller. “While only a proper trial could have exposed Mayorkas’ role in the nightmares playing out every day at our southern border, AAF is confident that elected officials will find other ways to shine a spotlight on those tragedies and overcome the disturbing precedent set today.”

Advancing American Freedom led an amicus brief with over 30 other amici in GenBioPro v. Raynes, in which abortion drug manufacturer GenBioPro has sued West Virginia, claiming that the state’s pro-life law is preempted by federal law which the company claims gives the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the authority to regulate chemical abortion and thus prohibits states from doing so.
“Where the federal government fails to protect the fundamental rights of those within its jurisdiction, states have both the authority and responsibility to do so,” said AAF General Counsel Marc Wheat. “If Congress intends to preempt state law on an issue as controversial and significant as abortion, it must do so clearly so that the courts can assess the legitimacy of that delegation of power. AAF supports West Virginia’s effort to protect the right to life of the most vulnerable people in the state; the unborn.”
