Senate Hearing Clash: Senator Van Hollen vs. Secretary Marco Rubio on Foreign Policy and Human Rights

Published | Video Starts at 08:37

There is a division in our government between the federal branch and the judicial branch. No judge and the judicial branch cannot tell me or the president how to conduct foreign policy. No judge can tell me how I have to outreach to a foreign partner or what I need to say to them. And if I do reach to that foreign partner and talk to them, I have under no obligation to share that with a judiciary branch. (08:37–08:43)
