As long as they can keep it going. Strom Thurmond went for 24 hours 18 minutes.

How much time left till the nomination is no good?

1415 more days.

I honestly do not know the exact senate rules on filibuster. As you probably are aware, this filibuster’s objective is not to stop the CIA nominee, but rather to have the senate vote on the constitutionality of killing a US citizen on US soil who is not an IMMINENT threat or in in the process of committing a grievous act of terror such as the 911 attack.
