I was hoping the ruling would be a simple majority to end debate.... THAT would have been fun!!!!

Cloture has been put to a vote on numerous previous occasions and fallen due to needing more than a simple majority. This time the 7 dems agreed to invoke it, ending the filibuster on the three. At this specific tiime, they're ending the filibuster on Owen.

Hmmmmmm, all Senators present just vote affirmative, from both sides of the aisle. None voted nay.

Interesting.

BTW, Rush starting.
