Cloture is to vote on whether to start or stop debate on a bill. If cloture to stop debate is voted upon by the majority, the bill is considered in its final form and can be brought to the floor for a vote on passage. By voting no for cloture, the senators are saying they want to continue debate and perhaps adding amendments to change the provisions of the bill. Some hope that voting no for cloture means the bill will die and never be voted on. At this point we don't know which of these will occur, so I feel rejoicing over the cloture vote of NO is premature.
There are a couple of important facts that were left out.
For Cloture you have to have 60 votes. 60 votes is the threshold at which a fillibuter cannot be substained. Clouture has to have a “Super Majority” vote.
Otherwise a fillibuster is a possibility.
THANKS.
