One thing to note
"While Lee's measure would not affect Trump's current national emergency declaration, it would apply to future declarations. "
McConnell is doing this to stop FUTURE abuses of the emergency powers by the next Democratic president.
This is not to stop Trump's CURRENT abuse of emergency powers for the wall.
So basically McConnell wants to stop the next Democratic president from using emergency powers for things like healthcare etc., but has no issues with the current Republican abusing the power for a wall.
Hopefully Democrats won't fall for this.
