'Cloture passed on a 65-31 vote,' a Congressional source relays at 11:30am. 'There was applause in the Senate gallery after the vote was announced. Republicans are threatening to exercise their right to use all 30 hours of floor debate before permitting a final vote, so Koh may not be formally confirmed until tomorrow.'
Until that final vote we IntLawGrrls, through our timer above, will keep on counting.
