Thanks for keeping us updated on the situation. :o)

Can someone explain the "quorum" calls and their significance?

This keeps occurring. Someone suggests the absence of a quorum, and they usually start the roll call; after a couple names someone else says 'without objection dah dah dah quorum' and business proceeds.

This time they called the whole roll.

What's going on with this? Thanks in Advance.

On behalf of the majority leader, I remind my colleagues the leader has announced our next rollcall vote will occur Monday afternoon at 5:30. That vote will be on a motion to instruct the Sergeant at Arms to request Senators' attendance. Senator Frist will have more to say about next week's session on Monday.

I have not been on the thread, but is this where we are now? Is it a vote on the nomineee or a vote on the rule?

Thanks for your patience for an ignoramus. I was counting on Freepers to get me to speed when necessary.
