1.
a. The use of obstructionist tactics, especially prolonged speechmaking, for the purpose of delaying legislative action.
b. An instance of the use of this delaying tactic.
2. An adventurer who engages in a private military action in a foreign country.
With the recent national election, it looks like filibusters are likely outside the realm of possibility ... try a Phillabuster ... have at it ... enjoy!
