Why do the Dems have to make sure there is a quorum?

They don't sorry! THere must be a quorum(51 present ---I think) If the Senators aren't there the SAA calls all. As soon as a quorum is reached they may resume business. Then only enough Republican will show up forcing the democrats to be there to make the quorum. POKER

Why do the Dems have to make sure there is a quorum? Rules require them to be there so long as senate is in session and it will stay in session so long as anyone objects to an adjournment.
