"But according to Senate rules, once Frist files for cloture, he has to wait three days before holding a vote. And if he wants the Senate to confirm Alito before the president's State of the Union address next Tuesday, he will have to file for cloture soon before Democrats have actually had a chance to talk for very long. On the other hand, if he waits to file for cloture until it is clear that Democrats are just talking for the sake of talking, then there can't be a vote until after the State of the Union address."

Thank you..I'll read it.
FYI..see #152..
"The following day but one" is the cloture vote, and the rule provides for 30 hours of debate (no more than that, except by unanimous consent) following passage of the motion.
