I asked on Twitter if this were possible and why it had not been considered. I got no response. I don't know what the rules are there. Do they define a quorum based upon both parties being present, or based on numbers?
I do not know. I thought it may have been based on party affiliation as well as numbers but I got a comment from a poster who looks like a local and he implied it was numbers.
It’s based on numbers. There need to be 20 senators present for a quorum on fiscal issue votes. There are 19 Republicans.
It's strictly numbers, and the number needed is 20. Doesn't matter what party that 20th Senator is from, GOP, Dem, or "The Rent is too Damned High"...
