'Spectacular day in America': Citizens cheer Sen. Cruz for marathon speech

Absolutely epic.

Thanks to Majority Leader Harry Reid, Sen. Ted Cruz was forced to prematurely conclude his remarks on Obamacare. But his magnificent work was done.

Applause broke out in the Senate gallery:

Applause in the chamber for Sen. Cruz. It's noon.

Applause as he leaves RT @Philip_Elliott: Final tally for Sen. Cruz: 21 hours, 19 minutes.

— Ashe Schow (@AsheSchow) September 25, 2013

And is still ringing out all over Twitter:
