Filibustering.When you stand up and talk at great length for the purpose of blocking a bill, that's filibustering. Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing depends on what's in the bill— Davis filibustering a bill to strip women of the right to bodily autonomy is a good thing, but Republicans (threatening to) filibuster a bill to provide health care is not a good thing. On the other hand, when you stand up and talk at great length for the purpose of hearing your own voice echo in the Senate chamber and/or annoy your fellow Senators, that's just yammering. |
