If so, why? I thought 60 is needed only for cloture on initial passage.

3. I don't believe you can filibuster a conferenced bill.
But honestly, the rules are so mundane, I can't say that with 100% certainty.

4. 51
Neither party has had 60 since 1976. The Republicans were able to accomplish everything they wanted without 60 votes.
