...but also to remind posters that treaty passage requires only a 2/3s majority AMONG THOSE PRESENT.

Yes, of course. Harry Reid will secretly schedule a vote, only inviting those 51 Senators among whom he can get 34 votes, and the 58 Senators who've already publicly signed letters in opposition, some of whom will have to be invited to get a quorum, will not tell anybody else, or those not invited will stay home and sit on their hands instead of showing up to vote.

I have to say, this thread is an entertaining one.

You: “Harry Reid will secretly schedule a vote, only inviting those 51 Senators among whom he can get 34 votes, “

News Report: “At 1:25 this morning, the Senate voted to defeat a Republican filibuster of the Democrats’ health care bill. “

Democrats love these “late night votes”. Happens with them fairly often.
