Excellent speech - need the transcript. Reliable paraphrase below:

Cruz: If you look at the history of govt in the world, it hasn’t been pretty...a story of oppression, a story of rulers imposing their will on their subjects—for millennia.

We were told that rights come from govt, by kings and queens, and they are to be given to the people by grace, to be taken away by the whim of the ruler. That has been the state of affairs for most of the history of humanity...

A revolution of ideas began this nation. it was two-fold. Our rights come from God. We hold these truths to be self-evident...endowed by our Creator-—not a king, not even our President. Sovereignty derives from “We the people.” It is the only place sovereignty has ever resided in the USA.

The Constitution was created to LEND power to govt-—and I would suggest, only on good behavior. Jefferson referred to the Constitution as “Chains that bind the mischief of govt. “

THAT sovereignty is an idea that we need to get back to, I am going to suggest that for some time the Senate has not behaved asif we the people are sovereign....

It is the core of our job to listen to the Sovereign, which is WE THE PEOPLE.

Do you know ATT Uverse’s cost on propane gas?

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Cruz: Vitter’s attempt to keep the ruling class under the same rules as the rest of America “Prompted a response that brought disgrace to this body”.

That'll leave a mark.

[Uncle Miltie]

“Either 0bamaCare is a train wreck, or Members of Congress should eagerly embrace it” and be forced to live under it.

[KittenClaws]

Au contraire. We now know that there is Cruz and Lee... and that’s it

---

You said it!

As Ted Cruz Speaks, it is WE THE PEOPLE who are being heard.

And that is a good thing.

[onyx]

Yep, you’re right.
Sarah ROCKED!

A vote for cloture is a vote for Obamacare.

Sen Cornyn, you vote for cloture, you own it.

This strategy of splitting hairs didn’t work for Chet Edwards a few years ago, and it won’t work for you.

John, if you vote for cloture, you will lose your primary.

Mark. My. Words.

[Gator113]

I hadn’t seen that.... LOL Thank you for posting it.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

WOO-Hoo!!! She said FU! I love Sarah!

Yeah! This just keeps getting awesomer.
