"A Filibuster is the term used for an extended debate in the Senate which has the effect of preventing a vote.
Senate rules contain no motion to force a vote. A vote occurs only once debate ends.
The term comes from the early 19th century Spanish and Portuguese pirates, "filibusteros", who held ships hostage for ransom"
I don't just make this shit up, you know.
