Senator Cory Booker's 25-hour speech renewed interest in the origins and use of the filibuster in politics.
The term "filibuster" originally described unauthorized military adventurers in Latin America but evolved to mean delaying legislation with long speeches in politics.
It dates back to the 1850s and became famous in the film "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington."
Recently, Senator Cory Booker's 25-hour speech renewed interest, though it didn't technically qualify as a filibuster since it wasn't aimed at blocking specific legislation.
