Where are the Republicans on this? Why are they allowing this?
RULE XXI
SESSION WITH CLOSED DOORS
1. On a motion made and seconded to close the doors of the Senate, on the discussion of any business which may, in the opinion of a Senator, require secrecy, the Presiding Officer shall direct the galleries to be cleared; and during the discussion of such motion the doors shall remain closed.
2. When the Senate meets in closed session, any applicable provisions of rules XXIX and XXXI, including the confidentiality of information shall apply to any information and to the conduct of any debate transacted.

Frist is angry due to lack of notice and lack of respect.
Invoking the Rule requires naught but a motion and a second.

Well, I hope the Dems don't disclose any information that goes on in the closed door sessions because then THEY will be in violation.
