actually, Snow is right. The Constitution is useless here except to allow the Senate to make up it's own rules.
well if the senate can make up their own rules, then republicans have how many votes, and the rat patrol has how many votes...then to equal those two parties, doesn't the independents have to have equal amounts also??? If no, then the independents have no say....they are neither Republican nor rat patrol....so I would say the senate belongs to the Republicans....
