WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Aug 21, 2020

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.960
<v Speaker 1>A law professor University Texas, ticked off that President Trump

0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:08.000
<v Speaker 1>is putting loyalists in important government positions. In a New

0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 1>York Times up ed, Stephen Vladeck demands to all why

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Senate Republicans are playing dead. They haven't stopped Trump from

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 1>appointing people loyal to him. Mr Vaideck especially man about

0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:24.480
<v Speaker 1>a tactic Trump uses to avoid confirmation hearings. Whenever there

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 1>are vacancy is an executive branch agencies, the President simply

0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:31.480
<v Speaker 1>appoints people loyal to him as acting officials. President Trump

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:34.159
<v Speaker 1>says this gives him a lot more flexibility, and as

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:37.760
<v Speaker 1>a bonus, he avoids the partisan battles that would erupt

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>in the Senate if these appointees had to be confirmed. Now,

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Voideck angrily complains that President Trump has not referred a

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>single name to the Senate for confirmation since April of

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Now this is sending the left into orbit. Folks play

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 1>that claims that appointing acting officers violates the spirit of

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the Constitution. That's a total rock since when of the

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>liberals cared about that. I'll tell you what has this

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>guy's underwear in a bunch of two things. First, that

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:11.120
<v Speaker 1>President Trump has people who are loyal to him in

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 1>key positions instead of the Obama holdovers who were undermining

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.919
<v Speaker 1>Trump since day one. But the main reason the guy's

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 1>mad is that Trumps outsmarted the left yet again to

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>figure out how to get people loyal to him in

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.480
<v Speaker 1>positions of importance. What's so wrong with that anyway? By

0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:29.559
<v Speaker 1>the way,
