www.senate.gov look up the roll call votes for each session. Below is for the current Senate. Every time you see the word "cloture", that was a filibuster by the GOP (the cloture, if agreed to, is the end of filibuster). They can filibuster the Majority Leader bringing a bill to the floor (introduction), debate, and voting. Any one Senator can filibuster.

All those guilty comments - the Senate impeached a Federal Judge yesterday.
