From a statement by Sen. John Thune (R., S.D.):
“This appointment lacks transparency and represents the latest power grab by the president to expand the reach of an intrusive government into the lives of Americans. Ms. Warren will be another unaccountable ‘czar’ put in charge of a huge new government enterprise that will impact millions of consumers and small businesses. The president should restore transparency to the process and do the right thing by formally nominating Ms. Warren for Senate confirmation just as some leading Democrats have called for.”
