The first vote is to end the fillibuster. I'll post the other votes on this thread when they happen and when Thomas prints them. On this first vote, a YEA vote ends the fillibuster.
Everything should happen in the next 30 hours since cloture was invoked. However, right now - Drunken swimmer Ted Kennedy is going on a very long rant.

Yes, and from Ohio.
I feel so proud...NOT!
Edwards & Kerry are busy campaigning. That's such a wonderful thing. I hope that they boss miss this issue entirely, and that whichever one is nominated misses the straight up-or-down AWB vote (please, let there be one) that should take place in the summer. This offers us some hope.
...and someone needs to make sure that Zell is present for future key votes.
Duh...should be: I hope that they both miss this issue entirely...
That doesn't mean he'll vote for the bill.

Edwards would vote against it -- if it passes the ambulance chaser lawyers will have to find some other industry to flood with lawsuits.
Senator "Flip-flop" Kerry would find a way to come down on both sides of the issue so he could tout his position to whatever group he is speaking to.
As I understand it (and know ye that I am not a politician, nor do I play one on TV $;-), that this passing of cloture does prohibit a filibuster in that it limits debate to 30 hours maximum. As noted elsewhere on this thread, though, just because a policritter voted "AYE" for the cloture doesn't mean they'll vote "AYE" for the bill.
