Related: About this forumTYT: Ted Cruz: No Health Insurance? Get A Better Job, Loser!
"During Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)'s epic "faux-libuster" Tuesday night, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) managed to briefly flummox the junior Senator from Texas by asking him about some of the real world consequences faced by people who are denied health care coverage under the current system.
A real Senate filibuster requires that the Senator who carries out the parliamentary maneuver must be obstructing Senate business, which Cruz is not currently doing. In spite of this, the ideologically-minded Texas Senator has spent the last 18-plus hours standing and speaking to a largely empty Senate chamber about the perils of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.".* John Iadarola (TYT University, The Common Room) breaks it down on The Young Turks.
