What happens when the majority party cannot stop a filibuster?
The filibuster continues until the greater majority (60) votes for cloture, or those filibustering stop.

Theoretically, this can continue indefinitely until the senate adjourns. Several filibusters have continued with a single senator speaking to an empty chamber, about unrelated subjects.
