Yes, cloture vote failed some time ago. NAY had 41 for the last 15 minutes or so. This just sets the stage for the motion to change the application of Rule XXII when the question pertains to voting on a Supreme Court justice.

yes, it failed initially 56-44. McConnell changed his vote to “no” so he could make a motion to reconsider so the official tally is 55-45. The reconsideration vote is now taking place.

I still cannot believe what John McCain has allowed himself to become.

The “song bird” is showing his true colors on a daily basis.
