Lee and Cruz working together making so much sense... Soon off to bed, but I watched them tag team and skewer Obama, Reid, and RINOs... Breathtaking!

[AllAmericanGirl44]

Brilliant really, labels don’t always mean what they say, as quoted by Ted Cruz :) So clever

[onyx]

Yeah!
LOLOLOL.

[Liberty Valance]

LOL!

[gopwhit]

if passes are required to enter the gallery i would imagine the cruz staff would be on-site to facilitate that. if any one has caught a tweet let me know...

[onyx]

Yep.
He’s very cute.

[Jane Long]

My internets went out for a few minutes...oh noes...and I missed the back and forth humor :( I finally got back on the live feed.

[itsahoot]

But Mike Lee has been a wonderful surprise today. I had no idea what a great orator he would be. How either of them can still be making so much sense after 12 hours is beyond me.

You heard it from me first, the big winner, when this fight is over will be Lee.

[advertising guy]

if ya hung a pony tail and 13 illegitimate kids on Senator Lee, you’d have Ben Franklin

[Jane Long]

They prolly require advance notice...clearance and all :/

For posterity - Bo Snerdly's Twitter Feed Bo’s page https://twitter.com/BoSnerdley Diana Allocco ‏@dianamee 3m @BoSnerdley This is actually revolutionary rhetoric. But Lee’s tone is so scholarly and measured I doubt this will be reported at all. Retweeted by Bo Snerdley View conversation Bo Snerdley ‏@BoSnerdley 3m The difference is Sen. Lee isn’t disrespectful like Dear Leader was to Scotus in his SOU performance. Expand Byron York ‏@ByronYork 5m A long, unstructured talk reveals much about what a lawmaker knows. Mike Lee has been very impressive—at nearly 3am. Retweeted by Bo Snerdley Expand Frank M Davis, JR ‏@FrankMDavisJR 6m .@BoSnerdley Agreed. Amazing show. Now this is what I call GOOD “Reality television”! Retweeted by Bo Snerdley View conversation Bo Snerdley ‏@BoSnerdley 6m This will be a day long remembered by the high information voters of America. The day when opposition rose up in the United States Senate. Expand Bo Snerdley ‏@BoSnerdley 8m Sen. Lee is calling out the Supreme Court. This is absolutely fascinating. Now - calling out Repubs for supporting Roberts “dastardly” act Expand Dana Loesch ‏@DLoesch 13m It’s 3am, do you know where your senator is? If not on the floor to #StandWithCruz you should be concerned. #MakeDCListen Retweeted by Bo Snerdley Expand Michelle Malkin ‏@michellemalkin 16m Extraordinary civic educational moment tonight for the country courtesy of @SenTedCruz & @SenMikeLee. Yes, we can #MakeDCListen Retweeted by Bo Snerdley Expand Diana Allocco ‏@dianamee 16m All of DC is “aghast” at Cruz LOL—>”Sarah Palin With an Ivy League Pedigree: The Brazenness of Ted Cruz” http://www.nationaljournal.com/why-the-gop-is-on-cruz-control-20130924 … Retweeted by Bo Snerdley View summary Bo Snerdley ‏@BoSnerdley 14m “For sheer brazenness, there is nothing in memory to compare with Ted Cruz” ==>http://www.nationaljournal.com/why-the-gop-is-on-cruz-control-20130924 … ==> Priceless. And Hopeless. View summary Bo Snerdley ‏@BoSnerdley 18m Sen Lee- We should question SCOTUS - when they expand the power of Congress - beyond (Madison) “few and defined” Expand Diana Allocco ‏@dianamee 21m @BoSnerdley Main accomplishment tonight: Cruz ripped the mask off the GOP’s fake vote plans. So it’s the GOP wigs that are flipping.

View conversation Diana Allocco ‏@dianamee 26m Now Sen. Lee is analyzing Commerce Clause jurisprudence and the history thereof. #substance Retweeted by Bo Snerdley Expand Bo Snerdley ‏@BoSnerdley 30m “We have to find something in the Constitution that gives us the power [ to make law...”] Sen. Lee. ==> Yes. That is how it was. Until 2008 Expand

OH what a mess

[Jane Long]

OK...the Jeopardy theme song mention was fuuuunnny :)

[Gene Eric]

A moment in Senate history being made right now; the critical analysis of SCOTUS’ (Roberts) ruling on ACA, not to ignore the lighthearted analogies.

[nikos1121]

Fortunatey woke up about a half hour ago. This is great. How many others who haven’t stated so, are enjoying this. I mean these guys are serious. They are not joking around trying to kill time. They are seriously talking about a serious problem.

In short, my friends here, we’ve all been had. By this democratic Congress and president and lastly and mostly Chief justice Roberts.
