After the Senate went nuclear and passed a cloture motion on President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch. Now, the Senate has limited any further debate on the issue to a 30-hour limit, which means that the confirmation vote will happen no later than 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Specifically, voting should start right around 6:51 p.m.

Now that there is no need for a 60-vote majority, it is expected that Gorsuch will be easily confirmed to become the newest Supreme Court justice.
Buckle up, everyone.
