REUTERS also offered an explanation of this absurd display of pique:
Cruz began talking at 2:41 p.m. EDT on Tuesday. His performance had the look of a filibuster, a procedural hurdle used to block legislation. Except in this case, it won't.
Under Senate rules, Cruz must yield the floor by noon EDTon Wednesday for a previously scheduled procedural vote.
At that time, Democrats and Republicans are expected to come together and begin moving the government funding bill toward approval, with a final vote likely on Sunday.
