The Constitution doesn't give the House of Representatives any power to control what the Senate does. So if the senators don't want to discuss a House bill they don't have to. The Constitution does give the Senate the power to set its own procedure, and if the Senate has chosen to do outrageous things like allow invisible filibusters then the only things you can do about it are to vote for a Senate candidate who is against dodgy Senate procedure or to campaign for a Constitutional Amendment to impose sensible procedures on the Senate.
