If the Republicans control the floor for the full 30 hrs (as I have read they have been trying to do) can even one 'rat leave the floor? Seems to me, they step off, they can end their speech, and the chair can call for a vote to end debate...
Where am I wrong on this (as I am sure I am..)

The Dims only need one on the floor to object. I'm not sure of all the details, but it boils down to them needing just one.

Where am I wrong on this (as I am sure I am..)You have it reversed. The call for a vote needs to be scheduled in advance. However a quorum call can be made by anyone and the GOP needs to keep 51 folks there.
