Quorum call won’t work: a quorum in each house of Congress is a simple majority of the members. It’s filibuster in the Senate or nothing.

Well, We the People could show up day after day when they're in session with torches, pitchforks, tar and feathers.

Full court filibuster will be mandatory, but there are lots of procedures in the House to slow eveything down to a crawl.

The Conservatives will be so empowered nothing will scare them off. The RINOS will so scared they will stay out of the way. The dems will be in such shock they will be like blindmen in an asskickin contest.
