"It should be the entity, the branch of government that is being infringed upon, which is the U.S. Congress."

"It is Congress who is politically accountable to the people, and if they do not like what Chairman Lankford or Ranking Member Heitkamp have done, they can call them home and do something about it."

"This is not about partisan politics. This is about the balance of authority and power."

"I think that the biggest problem that we have is the lack of political courage and political will to make the tough decisions."
