Senator Ted Cruz appears to be AWOL during Rand Paul’s historic (and ongoing) filibuster of the badly named ‘Patriot Act’ and illegal NSA spying on American citizens. And his supporters appear to not be pleased. This is Senator Cruz’s only online appearance via Twitter today. Talk about tone deaf–and read the responses. Almost all of them are asking, “Where are you?”

Over the course of his Senate career (he was elected in 2012,), Cruz has the fifth-worst attendance record for all votes. Cruz has the worst attendance record in the Armed Services Committee — by far. Ted Cruz skipped Loretta Lynch vote to shmooze with donors Cruz can't be bothered to do his job, yet thinks he should be President.
Does anyone expect an honorable man to suddenly emerge from the clusterdiddle which hides its corruption behind a cloak of halo effect created from their titles of office?
Canuck Cruz(R-Calgary) is speaking now.
He showed up before it was over. I expected that since it is a fundamental constitutional question. He could hardly resist, both because he is a lifelong Constitution fanboi and because he is embracing the "constitutional conservative" label for his presidential campaign. I think that Paul/Cruz/Lee also agree that if they don't hang together, they will hang separately so I think they will close ranks on certain issues, particularly when they agree so much on some of these fundamentals.
