I understand what you are saying. All I'm saying is that I got the impression he was talking about cloture/Tuesday when he was wrapping up. Apparently others did also and I think even maybe the news media got things confused also.

My guess is because he said a vote on judicial nominees for Tuesday which would translate into a cloture vote if someone had been following the debate and didn't realize there were more nominees coming to the floor.

Would have been easy to do except the press should have known that a motion to invoke cloture has to filed 48 hours in advance. That meant it had to be filed on Thursday for a Tuesday vote, since the Senate was in recess for Friday through Sunday. By checking the Senate website they would have discovered that nothing had been submitted.
