The irony of Republicans daring to bring up political contributions when they changed the law on that being a reason for recusal is cartoonish - but totally in character. When the rules work for them the GOP is 100% on board. Otherwise, not so much.

My guess is that they impeach but never hold the trial and the final vote. Like McCarthy and his MAGA charade in DC, in spite of their supermajority, they do not have the votes to convict.
Which is what the WI Christo-fascists want. Plan B has to involve making enough of the GOPers nervous enough about the backlash that will ensue to keep them from voting for the impeachment at all. Since I am not in WI either I don't know what that looks like, but I'm sure there are more than a few smart people in state who do.
I doubt it would matter unless it comes from within the GOP and involved their own (the GOP / legislators) survival.
ThatтАЩs how McConnell has kept the wild ones from getting too far out. With the online fundraising and his advancing age, he maintains just enough power to convince them to avoid the worst self-inflected wounds.

Then the court is tied and when these cases come to it the voters lose unless there is a plan B.
