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.

And is still ringing out all over Twitter:
