The vote to table was 54 Dems vs 46 Repubs. No filibuster apparently was allowed due to deal McConnell and company agreed to earlier this year.

A motion to table is not debatable, so "the filibuster," cloture, and all that other jazz doesn't attach.

Motion to table is a sort of "parliamentary nuclear option."
