	Standing Rules of the Senate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Under the rules and customs of the Senate, a quorum is always assumed to be present unless a quorum call explicitly demonstrates otherwise.
		Any senator may request a quorum call by "suggesting the absence of a quorum"; a clerk then calls the roll of the Senate and notes which members are present.
		The longest filibuster speech in the history of the Senate was delivered by Strom Thurmond, who spoke for over twenty-four hours in an unsuccessful attempt to block the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

		Since the Senate is a deliberative body, all of its rules must be in conformity with the basic principles of Parliamentary Law.
		Unlike the Rules of Order, which are intended to regulate the conduct of members of the Senate during meetings, the Standing Rules are primarily intended to regulate the actions of Senate officers and members outside of Senate meetings.
		Note that either a Rule of Order or a Standing Rule may be suspended under certain circumstances, in a manner similar to that of the suspension of the rules specified in Robert's.

	Should Senate rules be changed to limit debate on judicial nominations? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		A Senate minority cannot constitutionally deprive the whole body of the present Senate of at least one opportunity to ratify, amend or repeal carryover rules from a previous Senate.
		Rules that unconstitutionally allow a minority to entrench or impose carryover rules especially need to be changed now that the filibuster is being applied abusively to stymie judicial nominees.
		Rule XXII permitting the filibuster, even as applied to judicial nominations, is very likely not itself unconstitutional, even as it permits a minority to prevail - so long as that rule is adopted by the present Senate.

		Ignoring the league’s established procedures for modifying the rules of the game, the umpire announces the new rule, the pitcher and his team lack the power to overturn it, batter after batter draws a walk, and the game is no longer a contest at all.
		Soon you may not have to imagine because as early as this week, the U.S. Senate may be tearing up its own rule book by launching the “nuclear option” to clear the way for the president’s most controversial judicial nominees.
		For the sake of the nation, Senator Frist should remember the lessons he no doubt learned on the playground and avert the Senate’s version of a nuclear meltdown.
