TL;DR Summary

Senate Republicans plan to make the upcoming days politically painful for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and his Democratic allies by demanding a full impeachment trial or the creation of a special impeachment committee. Despite Democrats' intention to quickly dismiss the House's articles of impeachment, Republicans, led by Sen. Mike Lee, intend to throw up procedural roadblocks, delay the issue, and spotlight Democrats' refusal to conduct a trial. Democrats argue that the impeachment is a "sham" and politically motivated, and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is expected to move to dismiss or table the articles with a simple majority vote.
