Because Senate rules have always been carried over from session to session, the attack on Rule XXII will come on the first day, soon after Vice President Richard Nixon has gaveled the Senate to order. Then, according to present strategy, New Mexico Democrat Clinton Anderson will move that the Senate take up for consideration adoption of the rules under which it operates...
Unlimited Debate? Defenders of Rule XXII will object on the ground that the Senate is a continuing body (because two-thirds of its membership holds over from Congress to Congress) with continuing rules. Vice President Nixon will advise, as he has before, that the would-be rules-changers are right.

Next week if Alaska's voters surprise themselves by electing a few Republicans to office, Fred Seaton could once again take much of the credit...
