Senator Lee not only took to Twitter, but he took to the senate floor all night to defend liberty and support Sen. Ted Cruz during his epic speech lasting more than 21 hours.
RT @Heritage: .@SenMikeLee has been on the Senate floor with @SenTedCruz all night supporting #DefundObamacare as well.

Why?
I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep. #MakeDCListen
— Mike Lee (@SenMikeLee) September 25, 2013
Amen.
Unlike many politicians, Sen. Lee is doing the job that he was elected to do.
Mike Lee: 'I was elected to fight this law, not to facilitate its implementation.'
— Byron York (@ByronYork) September 25, 2013
And fight he did. Citizens could not get enough of the good senator.
AMEN RT @meredithdake: Another big shout out to @SenMikeLee who has also been with @SenTedCruz all night. #MakeDCListen #cspanchat

Bo Snerdley and actor Nick Searcy heaped on the well-deserved praise as well.
Sen. Mike Lee's discussion about SCOTUS and Obamacare during the overnight hours was brilliant and deserves to be reviewed.

Standing & defending: @SenTedCruz @SenMikeLee / Sitting & sneering: @shaifranklin &his fellow well-sheltered liberal hyenas #DefundObamacare
— Joe the Dissident (@joethepatriotic) September 25, 2013
A point about the ludicrous lib (including the lapdogs in the media) sneering:
When lib cowards make fun of @SenTedCruz & @SenMikeLee, just remember: liberal sneering has never improved even 1 disastrous liberal policy
— Joe the Dissident (@joethepatriotic) September 25, 2013
Bingo.
And a fabulous exit quote from Sen. Lee:
"Ultimately, this is an exhilarating moment. We're inspired by the American people." @SenMikeLee #MakeDCListen #KeepCruzing
— FreedomWorks (@FreedomWorks) September 25, 2013
Inspired by the American people. Fancy that.
@SenTedCruz Thanks to you & @SenMikeLee the American people have a voice. We #StandWithCruz
— KJJohnson (@3_seven_77) September 25, 2013
“Of the people, by the people, for the people.” Sens. Cruz and Lee will not let that perish from this earth.
