Stalwart Obamacare opponent Sen. Mike Lee spent the night on the Senate floor with Sen. Ted Cruz during his 21-hour speech and he was one of just 19 Republicans with enough backbone to vote against cloture.
There’s already plenty to thank Lee for, and now there’s this from his address at CPAC St. Louis Saturday morning:

Crowd stands and cheers, "Thank you," when Sen. Mike Lee mentions being on the Senate floor for the faux-filibuster this week. #CPACSTL
