As the House Homeland Security Committee advanced articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over an invasion of the country by millions, Democrats and some Republicans argued that it was a "Policy dispute" and not impeachable.
The Journal's own editorial board used that same line in its own subheader opposing impeachment, arguing that, "a policy dispute doesn't qualify as a high crime and misdemeanor."
The Democrat Committee on Homeland Security put forward a 45-page statement which mentions the word "Policy" 45 times, and argues that, "Impeachment is an extraordinary remedy under the United States Constitution. It is not a tool for policy or political differences."
Is 7 million illegal invaders a policy dispute or a war?
In theory every policy position, no matter how horrifying, is a policy dispute.
Public officials should not be casually impeached over policy disagreements, they should however be impeached when their malicious actions violate their duties and cause tremendous harm.
Elected officials can have policy disputes, but appointed officials are managing the machinery of the state which must continue to run despite their partisan leanings.
