HEARING NO-SHOWS:

“Sen. Ted Cruz's Obamacare hearing in a Senate Judiciary subcommittee Thursday afternoon began rather bizarrely...Directly in front of Cruz was an empty row of seats, vacant because witnesses from the Obama administration who were asked to fill them didn't show up...The empty table was theater, and Cruz took advantage of the opportunity, railing against the Affordable Care Act and the administration for not sending the requested Treasury officials, a snub which he called "the height of arrogance."
