"I just want to reassure my colleagues on both sides that Senator Vitter and I worked on how to handle these openings together."

"we would never have done this if we didn't have the agreement of Senator Vitter."

"I know, and it is a very legitimate observation, but we did have a resignation and someone who was not reappointed."

"I have not seen that coming from the Commission lately."
