Will a Republican invoke the rarely used 'two hour rule' in the senate again this week?

Settled as No

No reports stating this has once again happened

Background:

On two consecutive days, hearings conducted by the Senate Judiciary Committee were suspended when Republicans invoked the rarely used "two hour rule" that states no hearing can run more than two hours. ANP cameras were covering both hearings as part of ongoing stories and were able to capture the latest moves in the political chess match both parties are currently waging on Capitol Hill.
