I have a question re: new impeachment hearings

I read that Nancy Pelosi may use a new round of impeachment hearings to delay or derail the SCOTUS nomination, claiming this will "tie up the Senate".

My question is how does she think this will tie up the Senate? Don't they do as they please? Couldn't Mitch, after refusing witnesses in the last hearing, just proclaim this political and leave it on his desk as he has all legislation since 2008?

I fucking hate that it's no longer hyperbolic to assume the Senate Majority Leader will just continue to bypass norms but in a more dramatic and escalated way.
