which was not completely clear before that. i find it to be a game changer. i rise today in opposition to obamacare. vowing to use every procedural measure to fight on in the senate, cruz takes the floor on september 24th at 2:41 p.m. i intend to speak in support of defunding obamacare until i am no longer able to stand. the whole debate we re having here today is not over strategy. everyone in america understands that obamacare is destroying jobs. he speaks for 21 hours, 19 minutes. the hour of noons aarrived. pursuant to the order and then, as expected, the senate strips out the defund language. obamacare is dead, dead. if that fight if everything went your way the president would have vetoed that thing to defund and you would have been back to well, not necessarily.
