Capitol Hill Turns Up Heat on Criticism of Obama's Czars

From ABC News.

"The controversy over appointed officials within the Obama administration who have not undergone Senate confirmation—so called “czars”—is not only being discussed by conservative pundits anymore. Senators dedicated a hearing to the topic of “czars” on Capitol Hill today."

...

“They are unelected, un-vetted, and unaccountable,” Sessions said in response to the hearing today. “They include individuals with extremist views and records—such as Van Jones, John Holdren, and Kevin Jennings—all of whom were installed in high government offices without having to face scrutiny before Congress or the American people.”
