Dem Rep. Heck: ‘Whitaker’s Appointment Was Unconstitutional, Illegal’

‘It’s unconstitutional because he’s not been subjected to the confirmation process’

EXCERPT:

HECK: "I think Matthew Whitaker’s appointment was unconstitutional, illegal, and just plain wrong. It’s unconstitutional because he’s not been subjected to the confirmation process. It's illegal because he violated the A.G. succession statute. And it's just plain wrong because we’re learning things about his background that should have absolutely been exposed during his vetting process. Absolutely he should recuse himself because he’s frankly not qualified to be the attorney general."
