Former Rep. Ken Buck expresses his disgust with the abuse of impeachment power by his own party, stating that it has become a social media issue rather than a constitutional concept. He specifically refers to the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas by House Republicans without any evidence of high crimes.
When former Rep. Ken Buck announced last month that he was resigning from Congress, the Colorado Republican made little effort to hide his disgust with the state of the institution.

As a Washington Post report summarized: Under the original schedule, the Senate was going to receive the articles of impeachment against Mayorkas today, and Democratic members were set to vote tomorrow to either dismiss or table the articles.
