Isn't it possible that only one more republican will defect?

Yes, but everything in the Senate needs 60 votes for cloture. It is todays reality.

You can bet there will be a cloture vote, assuming it can even get out of committee.

Will the democrats go into the midterm elections having blocked a vote on the program that interrogates terrorists to protect us from future attacks?

That sounds like a surefire way to lose seats.

The question is whether any of the republicans would feel so strongly about this that they would actually filibuster the bill. If not, the democrats would be hanging out there on their own.
