The surprise move stunned Republicans, who did not expect Reid to bring heavy artillery to what had been a humdrum knife fight over amendments to China currency legislation.

What I think happened is that those Republicans mentioned voted for cloture on the China bill, then other Republicans wanted to offer amendments and Reid used his tactic to prevent that. That’s how it looks from this Senate vote board, and the final vote on the bill might not have taken place, at least it’s not on the Senate site yet.
