BREAKING MSNBC: Final vote on DADT at 3PM today!

[flpoljunkie]

Just reported. Evidently the Republicans decided to not require the 30 hours after cloture for further debate.

1. I will SUSPEND my afternoon nap for the occasion! :-) nt

2. Me too and I worked all night.

This is a momentous day.

3. Whoa whoa whoa!! I was prepared for 30 hours of GOP delay. They realize the futility of their ways.

Wonder if AF1 will be delaying its takeoff so Obama can make a statement when the final vote is in?

7. That's what happens when vacation time is on the line, I guess.

10. Obama is not leaving until START pass

[Parker CA]

16. Ah. Thanks. CNN made it seem as if he was waiting for the vote today to take off. nt

12. That was the cloture vote, to end "debate."

Not real debate, of course, but fake Senate debate, the de facto filibuster. Cloture needed 60 votes, we got 63. Now it's down to the final passage vote, which is a simple majority.

14. K&R. I'm so glad this will be done today! Sen. Wyden will get to vote on it now. n/t

15. Yes!!!

This is great news.
