WTF? I don't understand how any of the bullshite Senate rules work.
I don't either but shouldn't Cruz understand these rules if he's going to be shooting from both hips?

Oh brother.
The repubs were trying to run out the clock and rely on a desire to go home last weekend. Harry Reid had said basically, "Welp, looks like you rascally repubs have won on Barry's nominees since nobody's gonna want to come back next week if I extend this session." Cruz makes 'em stay another day and dashes hopes of sugarplum fairies and attending recitals, so it's no big deal for them to stick around for a bit more.
Lost in this discussion is the fact that Harry could have called them all back anyway, and these nominees would have never been confirmed unless the Dems used the nuclear option.

He understands the rules, he just doesn't care.
