I thought that once a bill gets voted down can’t be brought up for vote again. Can anyone comment on this?

The bill did not get voted down. They just have not agreed to end the debate. Cloture is agreeing to end debate and take a final vote.

We will yet be screwed on this. Count on it.

Did you ever see the youtube of Rep. Alcee Hastings, who famously explained "We have no rules around here. We make them up as we go along."

Reid can bring it up again. And again. And again. Some of these bills have more lives than a cat.
