In response to "I was just going to ask, if you have 51 Senators in favour of something, 49 other guys can say "We filibuster that" and go home." by Loyola

basically, if they forced them to make good on their threats it would tie up all other business in the Senate for God knows how long.

I think that's the cowards way of dealing with a filibuster threat, myself.
