Here's a very nice Frontline about McConnell's 30-year crusade to "avenge" Thomas.

McConnell's not worried about the impeachment. There will never been 2/3 vote in favor.

FRONTLINE - (UPDATE) Supreme Revenge: Battle for the Supreme Court
How a partisan war for the Supreme Court culminated in Amy Coney Barretts controversial confirmation days before the 2020 presidential election.
With the confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett days before the 2020 presidential election, conservatives solidified a 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court and the chance to shape American life and policy for a generation. Behind it all was a powerful Republican from Kentucky: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, for whom Barretts confirmation was a crowning achievement in a hard-fought, decades-long effort to transform the nations highest court. Supreme Revenge: Battle for the Court tells the inside story of that effort, and how it was sparked in part by a 30-year-old grievance. With McConnell elected to another six year term and President-elect Joe Biden preparing to take office in January, the film offers both a gripping political narrative and critical context on the state of Americas judiciary at the dawning of the Biden administration.
This is an update of the 2019 FRONTLINE documentary, Supreme Revenge, which may be viewed here:
FRONTLINE - Supreme Revenge (full film)
Inside the no-holds-barred war for control of the Supreme Court. From Brett Kavanaugh to Robert Bork, an investigation of how a 30-year-old grievance transformed the court and turned confirmations into bitter, partisan conflicts.
The battle that played out during Brett Kavanaughs Supreme Court confirmation hearings reflected deep divisions in Washington that may seem unique to the moment. But as FRONTLINE reveals, the intense politicization on display during the Supreme Court confirmation process and the transformation of the Court itself has been a shift decades in the making.

And may have been in on 1/6, perhaps as a peripheral supporter.
Remember his KY ruskie mining deal?

What worries him is the exposure during impeachment hearings.
That has to affect the 2022 elections where he hopes to regain control of the Senate and become Majority Leader again.
