>>The Constitution requires that the Senate drop all other business and attend to impeachment immediately.<<

The Constitution is silent on when proceedings should start.

The senate rules determine when the trial shall start.

The Senate has violated their own "immediately" rules. Here's an interpretation of that(revised 1/21/2021):( I always felt this place was big-time lefty)
https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R46185

The Senate, by unanimous consent, establishes a time for the House Managers to present the articles of impeachment to the Senate. Impeachment Rule I provides that the “Secretary of the Senate shall immediately inform the House of Representatives that the Senate is ready to receive the managers.” Instead of following the letter of the rule, however, the Senate reaches a unanimous consent agreement that sets a specific time for the Secretary to invite the House managers to appear. The time agreed upon in modern trials has been within a day or two of receipt of the House message. Scheduling a time is more convenient for all Senators, and these unanimous consent agreements have been reached within the context of a rule that appears to require immediate action.

It's unclear to me if they can (or would) vote to dismiss?

***The Constitution is silent on when proceedings should start***

I had heard commentators mention the 'immediate' rule; I wonder if it is a statute that was passed - sort of like Posse Comitatus. OR I could be wrong and that commentator I heard could be wrong. I know I heard the requirement for immediacy in the first sham impeachment dust up. Might have just been another media misdirection... Probably Russian misinformation! 🤨

They can and should vote to dismiss. But I bet they won't. They want to humiliate DJT.
