There are no unintended consequences that I can think of offhand. Even if one were to do a quorum call or “That the member be now heard”, you would only gain a certain amount of time, so it wouldn't be a very effective weapon, if you will. My own feeling is that it looks as if that would resolve the anxieties that have been raised this morning without going overboard in the other direction.
