Hm. People unclear on the concept of filibusters. Let's try it again.
Unless and until the rules of cloture are changed, it requires 60
Senators (a super-majority, in their parlance) to end a filibuster.
With 45 Senators, the Dems can hold a filibuster as long as they want.

No? Hm. They haven't had to do much lately. The Republicans have done a
marvelous job of imploding on their own.
