Breaking the rules already?

... one hour after the Senate meets on the following calendar day but one, he shall lay the motion before the Senate and direct that the clerk call the roll, and upon the ascertainment that a quorum is present, the Presiding Officer shall, without debate, submit to the Senate by a yea-and-nay vote the question:

"Is it the sense of the Senate that the debate shall be brought to a close?"

That's what Fox is reporting. Grassley was on earlier....and none too pleased that 14 senators decided that they would define how the rest of the senate would vote and when. I wonder if the 7 dwarfs are in hiding?
