The senators are able to stage a filibuster after you invoke Cloture!
To: TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!
That is not correct. Cloture (requiring 60 votes)limits debate to thirty hours. Each Senator is limited to one hour. Thus, it is impossible for a filibuster to take place after Cloture.
Since Cloture cannot be voted on until two days have elapsed after it is first proposed, it can take a few days to actually get to a final vote.
