According to the New York Sun, C. Boyden Gray of the Committee for Justice disclaims any intention to change the Senate rules: "What we are doing is not changing the rules, but restoring the status quo that existed for some 200-odd years."

The same article reports that the vote on restoring the status quo may come next month, perhaps at the end of April. The Senate breaks for a two-week recess on Friday, and Senate leaders want to squeeze in as much doable legislation as possible before Congress is shut down by the Democrats.
