Hey JP, I think you put a little spin on that too.

If I read this correctly, cloture is to force a timely vote on a bill, to bring it to the floor for vote where people can speak to it, debate it just before a vote is then taken. Is this incorrect?


What the Republicans did was to defeat an attempt for cloture and so the bill/resolution will not come up for vote soon, but will languish until all parites agree that it is time to vote on it. Sort of a group filibuster.


What we will get now is a bunch of them making those speeches we see on TV when no one esle is there.
