Cloture filed this afternoon or evening, so cloture vote on Thursday am likely. After that, not sure of procedure... cc @KagroX
What's the latest timing on the Gorsuch cloture vote? And when would the vote to go nuclear happen, assuming it does?

Basically immediately. McConnel objects when they fillibuster, President Pro Tempore overules and the McConnel starts the vote.
-
No it's more involved than that. Parliamentarian needs to rule, then president of senate, either Pence or a senator filling role, overrules
-
There's a couple steps in the parliamentary procedure, yes. But my understanding is that its a matter of half an hour or so. Not days.
-
What takes time is for the cloture motion to ripen. That won't happen until Thursday, if they filed today. After the, it moves quickly.
-
Ok yes I remember it can happen within hour or so. But: could Dems continue debate after cloture fails? Or can McConnell simply shut it down
-
Well, assuming ALL the rules don't get nuked, there can be up to 30 hours of post-cloture debate, which would take us into Friday afternoon.
-
The Reid rule kept the 30 hours of post cloture debate in place iirc.
