REP. JIM MCDERMOTT (D-WA): As I listen to this discussion, I'd like to remind everyone what we're talking about here. None of your organizations were kept from organizing or silenced.

JAKE TAPPER: What is your reaction to this move by Governor Christie? Should he have appointed someone, in your view? DICK ARMEY, FORMER REPUBLICAN HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER: Well, of course.
