Otherwise, she said she will resort to procedural motions permitted by Senate rules that would prevent the body from going into recess. It's a move rarely done, especially during the holidays when lawmakers want to return home to family.

Are there such procedural motions? I would think that sixty senators eager to go home for Christmas would be enough to squash this idea. But the Senate is so baroque and bizarre, who knows what she might do?

Any experts care to comment?
