Senate rules require a majority vote. Yer confusing a cloture vote with passage of a bill. < 60 votes means you can't automatically stop people from hocking a chinik, aka bumping their gums in filibuster. Let them talk all Thanksgiving dinner, if they are of a mind to, but it only takes a majority vote to pass.
