26. They can force one senator to deny unanimous consent requests. If you want to call that a filibuster
then fine.

My question to you is: do you still falsely maintain that there is any way under the Senate rules to force a single Republican to TALK for an indefinite period of time (or any period of time)? I don't mean saying "I sense the absence of a quorum," or "I object to the unanimous consent request" every hour. I mean actually talk.
