Senator Cruz Continues Floor Speech on Senate Floor - Procedural Vote on CR Later Today

UPDATE: Senator Cruz held the floor for 21 hours. Technically, his speech was not a filibuster since he was not delaying action on a bill and thus, was required to stop speaking before voting commenced on the continuing resolution on procedure.

Watch on C-Span2 - Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) continues to speak [started at 2:41pm ET on Tuesday] on the Senate floor about his opposition to the ACA and why he wants to block the continuing resolution. He stated he intends to talk “until I am no longer able to stand.” Throughout the evening he responded to questions from fellow opponents of Obamacare, such as Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS), as well as Democratic supporters of the health law, Sen. Dick Durban (D-IL) and Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA).
