For one thing the filibuster standing rule can be ditched by simple majority. Neil Gorsuch's nomination is in fact an example of the Senate overcoming the filibuster if they want to. The SC nomination was so important to the GOP they did it.
However, the consequences of the government shutdown are not as important as having a conservative majority in the supreme court to the GOP. Or the GOP are intentionally delaying as a strategy to try to let the narrative of blaming the democrats sink in before they 'miraculously' overcome it and take credit for fixing it after the democrats 'broke' it.
