I think R's dragged out the process intentionally
for 2 reasons. First, for melodramatic grandstanding of their talking points.repeated over and over. Second, to have a late night vote that they could add to their talking points about Dem secrecy.
Nadler pulled the rug out from under the second reason. They were angry that their orchestrations failed and they dragged it out for nothing, since Dems got to respond with facts everytime the R's repeated their spin.
I do not see how a SCOTUS ruling tomorrow would change anything in a process that will be wrapped up tomorrow. Would the committee suspend the vote to take time to review the ruling and amend the articles? This would take some time to do and be risky without knowing what is in the material to be released, if it is released.
