I'll ask you again. How do you force them to keep talking? Do you understand the question? How do you force them to talk when they don't seek recognition? Sure you can have some quorum calls every so often but that mostly gets your ppl up and to the floor as they have to have 51 to conduct business.... so in effect the Dems could stay home, sleep and keep their one Senator there to object to any unamimous consent request.

Again how do you force someone to talk. Enlighten us.
