Well, it has been almost 3 HOURS since the dueling quorum calls were NOT allowed to be stopped...

So...what do we think is being done?? Anything, or has everyone just gone back to their offices...and not a dang thing is getting accomplished, yet again today?

Care to speculate??

I think that Schumer and perhaps others are trying to hijack the flow of material coming up. This is an interesting form of filibuster. AFAIK, the various Committee meetings should be wrapped up, making a quorum of Senators available. So Senate leadership (both sides, Frist and Reid) are trying to figure out how to craft the ballet from here.

I noticed that there is no time agreement, so the pressure is somewhat off.

No need to guess. Frist is invoking cloture...again.
