Bond will vote against cloture the second time and against final passage

---

Explain to me the above....... I wasn’t aware of a 2nd cloture vote, is there one. I thought cloture brought the bill to the floor for debate, etc. within a specified time frame, 30 hrs after which debate ends and final vote occurs on passage of the bill..... Is this some different approach?

Right now they are debating whether to consider the bill. The first cloture vote would be to end debate on the motion to consider. If it passes, a majority vote would start debate on the bill. The second cloture vote would be on ending debate on the bill and would would essentially as you described it.

That's what I understood too. Maybe that's part of the swindle, to get gullible senators to vote YES on the cloture vote tomorrow, thinking that there will be another cloture vote to end debate, later.

I’m with you...I don’t think there is a second cloture vote. That is the whole reason for the “Clay Pigeon” approach. After cloture, the final passage is a straight up 50 votes for passage. This is why flakes like Burr can vote for cloture and against the final bill and have it both ways.
