Richard Blumenthal actually said...

This is a really offensive defiance of the constitutional role that the Senate has to play.

Putting someone in that role who’s been approved for a different job is a thumb in the eye of the Senate.

Make no mistake, it is a disaster that is on the horizon, approaching us as surely as a thunderstorm in the nation’s capital.

Due process is a bulwark against tyranny and a legal protection afforded to these students by law.
