I know I have read "cooling saucer of the Senate" at the American Memory site at the Library of Congress but I don't remember what it was in response to. I'm almost positive that it is "out of context", i.e., simply not applicable to the present situation.

It referred to the bill passing process. Seeing that the Senate was appointed by state legislatures instead of popular vote, it was to mean that they would be less responsible to political pressure than the House.
