1961In State v. Rogers, 56 N.J.L. 480, 631 ( Sup. Ct. 1894), a dispute arose in connection with the reorganization of the Senate, and our then Supreme Court held that "the majority of senators are the absolute masters of the occasion." (Emphasis supplied.) See also In re Ross, 86 N.J.L. 387, 391 ( Sup. Ct. 1914), where it was held that a presumption was in favor of the constitutionality of the law questioned in those proceedings, and the court recognized that the Assembly had power to suspend its own rules although no evidence had been submitted that this course had been followed.
