| 0:00.0 | A law professor, University of Texas, ticked off that President Trump is putting loyalists |
| 0:05.9 | in important government positions in a New York Times iPad, Steven Vladek, |
| 0:10.7 | demands to know why Senate Republicans are playing dead. They haven't stopped Trump from |
| 0:16.1 | appointing people loyal to him. Mr. Vladek's especially mad about a tactic Trump uses to avoid |
| 0:22.0 | confirmation hearings. Whenever there are vacancies in executive branch agencies, |
| 0:26.8 | a president simply appoints people loyal to him as acting officials. President Trump says this |
| 0:31.8 | gives him a lot more flexibility and is a bonus. He avoids the partisan battles that would erupt |
| 0:37.8 | in the Senate if these appointees had to be confirmed. Now, Vladek angrily complains that |
| 0:42.8 | President Trump has not referred a single name to the Senate for confirmation since April of 2019. |
| 0:50.4 | Now, this is sending left and orbit folks, Vladek claims that appointing acting officers |
| 0:56.1 | violates a spirit of the Constitution. That's a total crock since when liberals cared about that. |
| 1:02.9 | I'll tell you what has this guy's underwear in a bunch, two things. First, |
| 1:07.1 | that President Trump has people who are loyal to him in key positions instead of the Obama |
| 1:13.7 | holdovers who were undermining Trump since day one. But the main reason the guy's mad is that |
| 1:19.5 | Trump has outsmarted the left yet again to figure out how to get people loyal to him |
| 1:24.8 | in positions of importance. What's so wrong with that anyway, by the way? |
