"Reconsideration" is a bit of a waste when it comes to cloture. There is no limit to the nimber of times cloture can be files against a bill, amendment, or other debateable topic.

Not that "reconsideration of cloture" has not happened before, it has. But a failed cloture motion means the bill or amendment is still alive, with debate continuing.

I recall subjects that obtained half a dozen cloture motions.

Please don’t bother us with the facts. We’d rather have another excuse to bitch and moan.
