Senators Who Support the U.S. Constitution

In addition to Rand Paul, those who support the Constitution are: Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Pat Toomey (R-Penn.), John Thune (R-S.D.), John Barrasso (R-Wy.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.). Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) supported Paul’s filibuster by bringing the senator a thermos and an apple, a likely reference to “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” Kirk recently suffered a stroke and did not speak during the filibuster. Just one Democrat joined in the filibuster, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.).
