The filibuster is based on the rules of the United States Senate, but it is not mentioned in the Constitution, which says only that the Senate gets to make its own rules and procedures. whatever is part of the rules would be considered to be legitimate by most people, although not necessarily sacrosanct.
Traditionally, there was no limitation on debate in the Senate, but restrictions were gradually added, allowing first 2/3 and now 60% of the Senate to vote to end debate and vote on the measure at hand.
In 2013, the Senate changed the rules to end filibusters on the nominations of federal judges (except Supreme Court justices) and executive-branch positions.
