I'm trying to figure out if something exciting is happening or not!

I think they're voting aye or nay on the motion to request absent senators to return to the floor. Not sure how many they need.
To: GOPrincess
I think that Frist is ready to call for the vote at midnight, but he needs a quorum of Senators. The Republicans are all there, but the Democrats are not. He called a roll call, and is now calling for a vote to instruct the sergeant at arms to roust the Senate (or something like that).

The Senate leader called for the Sargeant of Arms
to roust Senators for a quorum. They now have the authority
to literally drag them there, if need be.
