On Tuesday, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., said, "What we are witnessing here is the biggest heist in American history."

"Are we going to let that stand? Hell no, we are not going to let that stand," Van Hollen added, later vowing, "We have to fight this in the courts, we have to fight this in the Congress, we have to fight this in the streets. We need to fight this all over America."
