Cloture is a procedure used occasionally in the U.S. Senate to break a filibuster. Cloture, or Rule 22, is the only formal procedure in Senate parliamentary rules, in fact, that can force an end to the stalling tactic. It allows the Senate to limit consideration of a pending matter to 30 additional hours of debate.

In other words, the dimbulbs have 30 hours to discuss the vote (and if any one of you thinks I am watching all 30 hours, just ask me if my room is cleaned or the wood is stacked, k?) and then they vote. Senate goes back into session at 11 tomorrow...I will have to check to see if the 30 hours began at 10:00 p.m. tonight.
