he reminds me of Nicolae Ceaușescu, utterly bewildered by the rising tide that is about to sweep him away. (But, since I'm not a Republican, I don't actively wish him to meet the same fate as the late Romanian dictator.)

It's all the Capitol Police.
The politics USA article mentioned some republican saying they were going to turn the lights and A/C off. That isn't going to happen. Any member of Congress can walk into the Chamber at any time and turn the lights on and dance around if they feel like it. They just enter through the Cloakrooms.

Trying to force them off the floor is a huge mistake.
