Definition
Characterized by or resembling the actions of a filibusterer; obstructive, delaying, or adventurous.
Etymology
From filibuster + '-ous', an adjective suffix meaning 'full of' or 'characterized by', creating a descriptor for filibustering behavior or qualities.
Kelly Says
The word 'filibusterous' perfectly captures the theatrical nature of legislative obstruction—it's not just about blocking votes, it's about making a dramatic performance of delay.
