"I commend Senators Blumenthal, Hirono, and Whitehouse for bringing this important lawsuit and shining a bright light on the president's unconstitutional appointment of Matthew Whitaker as acting attorney general."
"Even if you put aside Mr. Whitaker's many conflicts of interest and history of hostile comments toward the special counsel's investigation, his appointment as acting AG is in direct violation of the Constitution's Appointments Clause."
"Mr. Whitaker's appointment should concern every American--regardless of party affiliation--who cares about the rule of law and justice in our country."
