Thanks for bringing that over, great stuff! I bet Rush is going to be on fire when he re-takes the mic today.

@BoSnerdley This is actually revolutionary rhetoric. But Lee’s tone is so scholarly and measured I doubt this will be reported at all.

The difference is Sen. Lee isn’t disrespectful like Dear Leader was to Scotus in his SOU performance.

A long, unstructured talk reveals much about what a lawmaker knows. Mike Lee has been very impressive—at nearly 3am.

.@BoSnerdley Agreed. Amazing show. Now this is what I call GOOD “Reality television”!

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.

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

It’s 3am, do you know where your senator is? If not on the floor to #StandWithCruz you should be concerned. #MakeDCListen

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 …

“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.

Sen Lee- We should question SCOTUS - when they expand the power of Congress - beyond (Madison) “few and defined”

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.

@dianamee Is this the discussion that makes Harry Reid flip his wig?



Diana Allocco ‏@dianamee 26m

Now Sen. Lee is analyzing Commerce Clause jurisprudence and the history thereof.

“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

OH what a mess

What's going to be a mess is me trying to get up later, have stuff to do, but the education these two guys are providing is priceless.

Probably going to start recording it and go bedie-bye soon.

[deks]

I think the passes are normally obtained from your own senators and representative. I did see this on a senator’s website. . . “Gallery Passes do not need to be used same-day, so you can pick them up at any time during your visit and use them at your leisure.”

[onyx]

LOL.
I made a mess of that, but corrected it in another post.
Had no idea it would all garble together, because it previewed A-OKay.
My sincere apology!

[Jane Long]

Love it...head to bed w/TV on.

America is transfixed on The Good Guys fighting The Good Fight for us!!

[TLI]

I have to go to work in eight hours and I almost feel guilty going to sleep while these PATRIOTS are fighting the good fight on our behalf.

Notice how Senator Lee is doing all this from memory, no notes or Teleprompter in front of him.

I just got in from work and felt compelled to at least check in. I assume Lee has the ball right now.

We need hundreds more like these men to actually provide real government for this Republic.

May the strength of thousands of prayers sustain them through the night.

[ssschev]

I am proud of what Sen. Cruz and Sen. Lee are doing today. I’ve been since 5pm.

[onyx]

You’re so right, Chief Justice Robert is the genius who actually shafted us.

SCOTUS does NOT have the power to tax.

“clicked your Hey Howdy page..... you live in bliss”

thank you for the reminder need to update that....crashed to reality this year - sold the boat and moved to DC! Can’t promise to be a land lubber forever though.....

[don-o]

I fell asleep with CSPAN radio playing. I woke up with the thought: What if Cruz refuses to stop talking? What if he is still talking at noon?

[Jane Long]

I know I’ll be a mess tomorrow, too. I’ll have to do my looks-like-she’s-awake/working-while-sleeping act.

[ssschev]

“May the strength of thousands of prayers sustain them through the night.”

Amen!

[advertising guy]

I had a 37 ft’r in Channel Islands for 6 years, lived on her the last three

[onyx]

You know, that’s a good idea: set the recorder.
I hate to cut out on these heroes, but I’m still trying to get fully well.
I’m already going to pay a price for staying up late.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Amen. Lee’s comments about the SCOTUS’ (”black robes”) Unconstitutional acts and the dirty tactics 0bama used to pass 0bamacare is outstanding. This thing got really good about 2 or 3am EST. and still watching here!

[MestaMachine]

I tweeted this thread to Ted Cruz, holdonnow,Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, and once just for general principles.

[onyx]

Aw, thanks so much sweetie pie.
You’re fabulous! I hate to cut out, too.
This has been so educational.
Good night, Kickass Conservative!
God bless and keep you and everyone you love.

[goodnesswins]

I was just thinking the same....as I am thinking of going to bed....and wondering if I will wake up to them!!
