This holds the Senate hostage for 4 months to a year until all court cases are decided.  The Senate can do nothing until it hears impeachment and it can't hear impeachment until the house lets them/several court cases resolve. It was all about stopping the new Mexico trade deal and therefore not having the border even more shut down than it is to date.  No more judges approved.  Nothing, Nada can happen.  After the Senate rages, they can all go back to their districts.
