THere must be a quorum in order to conduct any business in the Senate. If there appears to be an absence of quorum, the roll is called and business stopped. Those not present are sent for. Years ago, they sometimes had to wait days until the senators showed up.

If there is a real filibuster expect alot of this. It keeps the people awake and not able to "get their beauty sleep" Wish I could see HRC? Bet she looks bad and will look lots "bat-ter"

Ooh they just announced Chuckie Schummer I'd love to see what he says if they go to a fillibuster. Nothing like an Ambulance Chaser running his mouth.
