What section of the USC is the filibuster in again? I've looked and looked, but cannot find it.

You might look in Senate Rule XIX (Floor debate) & then Rule XXII (Closure).

The USC gives each house of Congress the right to "determine the Rules of its Proceedings."

The first Filibuster was in 1917.
