noun
The head hypocrite. A duggar not only rails against behaviour he gleefully does in private, but he leads the parade against said behaviour.
In Psychoanalysis there is a defense mechanism called reaction formation where a person behaves in an opposite way to his private behaviour, which is fueled by a repressed impulse. The duggar, however, is conscious of and delights in the forbidden private behaviour.
The orders of magnitude are thus: There is denial; reaction formation is denial on steroids; being a duggar is reaction formation on steroids.

When they Tarantino a bill, you could also call it constitutional blockage because the filibuster is like an impacted colon in the body politic. The Senate needs a good cleanse of the obstructionist! Then, maybe things will get moving!
