Senate Rule XXII - PRECEDENCE OF MOTIONS
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of rule II or rule IV or any other rule of the Senate, at any time a motion signed by sixteen Senators, to bring to a close the debate upon any measure, motion, other matter pending before the Senate, or the unfinished business, is presented to the Senate, the Presiding Officer, or clerk at the direction of the Presiding Officer, shall at once state the motion to the Senate, and one hour after the Senate meets on the following calendar day but one, he shall lay the motion before the Senate and direct that the clerk call the roll, and upon the ascertainment that a quorum is present, the Presiding Officer shall, without debate, submit to the Senate by a yea-and-nay vote the question:
"Is it the sense of the Senate that the debate shall be brought to a close?"

Ya know....that Lieberman really knows how to talk, doesn't he? He would make an excellant candidate for the Dems...yep, hope he makes it.......oops! here we go!
To: Cboldt
I think vote is 48 hours after asking for cloture. That would be sometime this evening. Anyone know for sure?
Another question, does anyone know whether 48 hours notice is required for every future cloture vote?

Will Byrd honor two centuries of Senate precedence, or will he sell his soul to the Hillary Democrat's slash and burn win at all costs gambit?

The "48 hour" thing probably came from one of my posts, where I said "nominally 48 hours." The exact delay between making the motion and voting depends on when the motion is offered. If the motion had been offered at 10:30 AM on Tuesday, then it would be 48 hours.
Kind of like Good Friday and Easter, on the third day he rose again. But the time elapsed was not three 24 hour days.

The Dems don't have to bluff, the Republicans have already telegraphed their intention to fold. Same song, different bandleader.
