Sen. Whitehouse: Whitaker’s ‘Appointment Is at the Very Bounds of Constitutionality’
‘I think it’s pretty widely accepted, his appointment is at the very bounds of constitutionality’
EXCERPT:
TUR: "So there are some Republicans that seem to be uncomfortable with Whitaker or question the legality of Whitaker's appointment, Trey Gowdy is one of them. So is Lindsey Graham. You’re laughing. Why haven’t you gotten any Republicans to sign on this lawsuit?"
WHITEHOUSE: "Even John Yoo wrote a piece saying his appointment was unconstitutional. I think it is pretty widely accepted that his appointment is at the very bounds of constitutionality, and that we feel very confident, the three of us who brought the case, that we stand up way better than even likelihood of winning this and putting the advice and consent back onto the department of Attorney General."
