Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas read Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham" while speaking against Obamacare on the Senate floor, TIME's political blog Swampland reported. Cruz read the children's book six hours into his speech as a "bedtime story" for his daughters. Cruz, who declared that he would "speak until [he is] no longer to stand," was not delivering a filibuster, as the Senate had previously scheduled a time for the vote on Wednesday, which would be impossible for Cruz to delay with his speech, C-SPAN reported. Some public figures criticized Cruz for missing the story's central message of not rejecting things before one has tried them, as the Affordable Care Act has not in fact gone into effect yet, NBC News reported.
