It’s not moot. You can’t get to a vote unless you end the debate, which is cloture.
These are the games they play and we need to be aware of them.

Cloture is on a filibuster. There is no filibuster of judges.

There was a liberal on Twitter who posted a poll. He got owned. Last I looked 97 percent believed Kavanaugh. 60,000+ votes. I think people are getting through to Collins, Murkowski, and Flake. Jamming their tweets with negative responses. I believe the American people are seeing the disgusting tactics of the Democrats.

At the same time... Coons is flipping and many other at risk democrats. A cloture vote does not have to include these three idiots.

No, cloture is a vote to end a debate.
There are three steps: motion to proceed to debate, motion to end the debate, and the final vote.
A filibuster is just an extended debate.
It takes 51 votes to end debate on any nominee.
To: John S Mosby
You’re correct, but I don’t see democrats voting for cloture if the moderate republicans dont.

America is doomed no matter how you look at it. The only thing that can save us is for a terrorist to nuke Congress while in Session. Stay classy, Herman.
Never, EVER give up.

There is still a floor debate. You can’t just move to a vote. You must proceed to debate, then end the debate, then vote.
To: cotton1706
It does not take 51 votes to end debate. You have no source for that. You're making things up.
cloture - The only procedure by which the Senate can vote to place a time limit on consideration of a bill or other matter, and thereby overcome a filibuster. Under the cloture rule (Rule XXII), the Senate may limit consideration of a pending matter to 30 additional hours, but only by vote of three-fifths of the full Senate, normally 60 votes.
