Stalwart Obamacare opponent Sen. Mike Lee spent the night on the Senate floor with Sen. Ted Cruz during his 21-hour speech and he was one of just 19 Republicans with enough backbone to vote against cloture.

There’s already plenty to thank Lee for, and now there’s this from his address at CPAC St. Louis Saturday morning:

And he received a well-deserved standing ovation for his stand against Obamacare.
