Sen. Ted Cruz, an outspoken critic of the President on many issues, told reporters before entering the Senate chamber that “There wil be no ridiculous, unrelated demands. This is about one thing- Syria- so I will forgo bringing up Obamacare, the debt ceiling, food stamps, tax cuts, the Sequester™, and I expect my fellow Senators to follow suit.”
