These are the rules imposed on 100 senators as they proceed through what could be 10 or more long days of Senate jury duty. Senators can only drink water, sparkling water or milk while on the Senate floor, according to Senate practice (which for the stodgy old Senate may as well be written in stone). The full — and thirsty — Senate chamber meant those pages were furiously delivering drinks and the occasional note to senators this week. In the back of the chamber, Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) Cellphones and other electronics have never been allowed on the Senate floor.
