You’re right, I’m wrong, sorry.
They both filibustered, also Senator Mike Lee.

Most people remember the marathon filibuster mounted by Ted Cruz opposing ending debate on the issue of defunding Obamacare that lasted over 21 hours (21 hrs 19 min).

The nearly 13 hour filibuster by Rand Paul was on the issue of using drones against American citizens on American soil.

Cruz and Paul assisted each other's filibuster by making lengthy statements, posed in the form of questions, giving their colleague a chance to temporarily yield the floor and take a rest.
