      Can a #Senate expert explain to me: 1. When is the cloture vote? 2. How soon after the cloture vote is the floor vote? 3. What's the deal with the 30 hours of "debate" (floor time)? Can the 30 hours run concurrently (at the same time) for all these nominees?https://twitter.com/CraigCaplan/status/1017471608288473088 …

      McConnell sets up Senate floor votes for next week on Federal Reserve Board member Randal Quarles for full 14-year term & two Circuit Court nominees Andrew Oldham for Fifth Circuit & Ryan Bounds for Ninth Circuit by filing cloture.

      I am not a bona fide Senate expert by any means, but I do follow Senate floor politics.

      1/ usually there is a “bed-check” vote on Monday at 5:30 pm to make sure Senators are in Washington, D.C. to vote on a bill or nomination.

      2/ The ldr has usually scheduled the first cloture vote on a given series of nominations for a week at 5:30 on a given Monday. Since cloture motions “ripen” (i.e. can be brought up for a vote) 2 legislative days after they have been filed, he asks for uc to ripen them at 5:30.

      3/ this is usually allowed by the Dems to avoid keeping the Senate in session on the weekend just to allow cloture motions to ripen. In next week’s cases, the Senate’s bed-check vote will be on Ed. Dept. nomination, and not on the judges or Randy Quarles.

      5/ So the Senate will likely move on the nominations in the order cloture was filed. So Quarles, then Oldham, then Bounds.

      So, bottom line, when do you estimate Oldham and Bounds will get floor votes?

      5:31 PM - 12 Jul 2018

          The absolute guarantee is by Thursday afternoon, because as Hill reporters refer to, the "jet fumes" start getting to the Senators and they want to skate town. I would expect a Judge (possibly Justice in the next GOP admin) Oldham on Wednesday, and a Judge Bounds on Thursday.

          Agreed. Ds will agree to votes by Thursday so they can leave.

          Wednesday and Thursday is likely. Bounds is last so almost certainly Thursday afternoon.
