Cruz pre-negotiated terms of his fake filibuster with Reid.

Adam Jentleson @AJentleson

Fun fact: Senator Cruz pre-negotiated the terms of his #fakefilibuster with Senator Reid yesterday. Not exactly a Mr. Smith moment.
1:58 PM - 24 Sep 2013

Reid did appear to have prior knowledge of Cruz's intention to launch into a speech, which is not quite a filibuster because a cloture vote will take place Wednesday regardless of what he does.

"I just want to make sure that everyone understands there is no filibuster today," he said Tuesday at roughly 10 am ET.

1. Right, since it isn't blocking any Senate action technically it isn't a filibuster, similar

to Bernie Sanders 2010 'filibuster'.
