Because of the cloture vote any delay can be ruled out of order by the Chair.

No, but I'd still love to see them try. Then they can kiss the next few election cycles "BYE! BYE!".

No. Cloture passed. Discussion is over. It's on to the vote!

If I'm wrong, somebody correct me. But bring me flowers first.

I thought that was decided already with the vote yesterday?! Why is the chair allowing Durbin more time?
