Filibusters are a type of political tactic used to delay or prevent legislative action. The term 'FILIBUSTER' comes from the Dutch word 'vrijbuiter, ' which means 'FREEBOOTER.' Filibusters can take many forms, such as screeds and talkathons. Screeds are long speeches that are used to delay or prevent a vote on a bill. Talkathons are extended debates that are used to delay or prevent a vote on a bill. Both tactics are used to prevent a majority from voting on a bill, thus preventing it from passing.
