Article I

Section. 5.

Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members, and a Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business; but a smaller Number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the Attendance of absent Members, in such Manner, and under such Penalties as each House may provide.

Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.

Each House shall keep a Journal of its Proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such Parts as may in their Judgment require Secrecy; and the Yeas and Nays of the Members of either House on any question shall, at the Desire of one fifth of those Present, be entered on the Journal.

Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.

The rules of the Senate are outside the jurisdiction of an Article III court, this will be thrown out. Even if a judge was crazy enough to try the case or issue an injunction, the Senate will ignore it as unconstitutional.

>>the Senate will ignore it as unconstitutional<<

The all-democratic house and senate ignored things that WERE Constitutional (obamacare).

The reaction will be “thanks for your meaningless opinion.” — and this one will get bipartisan support. The only thing politicians hate more than attacks from each other is attacks on their power.
