Do we really think there are 41 Republicans that will filibuster raising the debt ceiling?

I sure hope so.

Why would they need 41 senators to filibuster? My understanding was a single senator could filibuster for as long as he could. (Though having a few working together obviously makes it feasible to sustain it longer.)
