Colorado Democratic Gubernatorial Primary Debate

My question for Phil is that you said on this stage tonight that the way you choose lawsuits is what's illegal and what's important to Colorado. And yet You failed to join your colleague attorneys generals in the lawsuit they brought to stop the Trump administration from separating kids from their parents at the border. Is that because you thought it wasn't illegal or is that because you thought it wasn't important to Colorado? Of course, separating kids from parents is awful. (43:18–43:30)
