    If they are waiting for the quorum, what exactly are they casting votes for right now?

    They have enough in the room to vote if they only need 51. I'm confused at what they are voting on, because at first Sessions said yes, then no.

    Failed twice? I didn't know that either.

    Lets make a third time!
    They were back to back immediate votes.

    I think they are continuing to call the roll trying to get enough members to establish the quorum.

    This is a motion to compel the absent Senators.
    They were probably still in the back room working on that new 400 page amendment they want to slip in...in place of the old one.

    Are they trying to establish who is there and who isn't?

    Okay, this is the vote that determines if the bill is dead or not. If they vote yes to bring the debate to a close, they will vote on cloture. If the votes goes in favor of continuing the debate, Reid will pull the bill.
