Regulatory czar nominee favors gun grab, animal rights, 'Fairness Doctrine' for Net
Cass Sunstein, a law professor friend of the president and his current nominee to be regulatory czar, is on a list of eight possible names, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to replace Souter in an article in Atlantic Monthly.
"Among those who might make the list of replacements: incoming solicitor general Elena Kagan, formerly the dean of the Harvard Law School, Cass Sunstein, a brilliant constitutional law prof who now works at Obama's Office of Management and Budget, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, appellate judge Diane Wood, and Leah Ward Sears, the chief justice of Georgia's Supreme Court," reports Marc Ambinder. "A dark horse might be Judge Nicholas Garaufis of the Eastern District of New York

Face it people we are so totally screwed. For the next 3.5 years, the survival of a 230 year old experiment in individual liberty rests solely on the health of 5 men; two of whom are in their 70s.
The American Conservative Union is offering an opportunity for Americans to sound off on Sunstein's agenda. The organization has created a website called Stop Sunstein through which readers can submit petition signatures to members of the U.S. Senate.
I don't think it will happen. Barry doesn't want two confirmation hearing (state and SCOTUS), just for one SCOTUS opening. I could be wrong and I'm sure Hildabeast would say yes, but I'm guessing it's the dyke from Stanford Law that gets the nod.
Barry got away with saying that marriage is between a man and a woman and there wasn't a peep from the gaymafia. This would be the payback I'm sure that they were promised.
But could anyone Obama picks be worse than Ginsberg?
And another that has a history of Tonic-clonic seizure. Not a hopeful sign.
WE ARE SO SCREWED. And I don’t think he is gonna put Hillary Clinton in there, she is already Secretary of State. this guy Cass Sunstein, OMG here comes the fairness doctrine, we all knew it was coming
If Cass Sunstein has his way, for every article posted on Free Republic an opposing article will have to be linked to it.
...could result in Barack Obama's nomination of a man who has been an outspoken proponent of tough restriction on gun sales and ownership, a ban on hunting, animal rights and what has been characterized as a "Fairness Doctrine" for the Internet. Cass Sunstein, a law professor friend of the president and his current nominee to be regulatory czar, is on a list of eight possible names, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to replace Souter in an article in Atlantic Monthly.This would not surprise me. Either Clinton? No way -- that would be more than surprising.

Thus, is the Sunstein concept of paternal libertarianism.
Because nobody can understand the problems poor and minorities like a prep school grad and former member of the Harvard squash team? I don’t think so.
Ya'know, some of our best and brightest.
Are you referring to Kathleen Sullivan? She’s a likeable person and knows some great jokes, but she’s prety much the Left’s version of Scalia. Kagan would be a smarter choice for Obama. She’s a lot like Roberts in the sense that she’s willing to acknowledge the other side for strategic reasons even if she doesn’t ultimately support it. It all comes down to who can woo Justice Kennedy.
Yes, that's her name. I'm by no measure a "court watcher", but didn't Kegan have some confirmation difficulties just a Solicitor General?
During the campaign was stunned that the gay activist gave Obama an absolute pass for having the virtually identical position on gay "marriage" as McCain. It would just make sense that Axelrod promised them something like this to placate the vocal gay left.
It's total speculation on my part, but I think it's logical.
Of course she is there. She has always been there. She and Obama are thick as thieves as they work for the same people and have the same agenda and that is to deliver America to communisim.
Breyer and Souter were worse than Ginsberg IMO. At least she gets it right on the 4th Amendment.
How are we more screwed than last week? Souter is about as leftist as one can get, it will be damn difficult to find anyo ne worse. So for all intents and purposes we are no better off.
On the other hand, if one of our conservative Judges was being replaced by oBOWma, THEN we are so screwed.
I will be very surporised if it is not hitlery, or HOLD YOUR HAT, slick.
I agree that such a person is a smart choice from their perspective, although I am still betting on Sotomayor as a three-for (Hispanic, Female and Leftist).
The reason Clinton picked Breyer is because he could influence O’Connor and Kennedy. He’s a very bright, ostensibly reasonable guy who just happens to make it up as he goes along.
Yes.
Did anyone consider that whenever the Leftists try to make their wet dreams real, they make utter fools of themselves and actually lose support? Maybe the nomination of Sunstein wouldn’t be so bad - because he is SO extreme, SO off the reservation that he not only might not be confirmed, but might do so in a way that permanently damages the jug-eared one.
This guy is incredibly dangerous. He thinks the internet needs strict controls because people can actually to to web sites they agree with (i.e., he would shut down FR).
I fear that Chuck Schumer will be chosen.
“Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
Oh Gawd.”
I hate to say this, but I think Obama can and will find a nominee who will be WORSE than that.

One of the reasons we won the US Senate in 2002 was “for the Judges”... if the GOP Senators had the cohones, they would subject the Obama nominee to a tought grilling, and expose who the real extremists are.
???
That doesn't even make any sense....
What's going on with World Net Daily??

The leftist is there for ANOTHER 30 YEARS. The younger the worse... so lets hope Obama picks someone old.
Another example of “elections have consequences”. Pointing to the lack of support for any one conservative candidate in Repub Primaries in 2008, regardless of the deck being stacked for mclame by “Big Tent open Primaries”, where the dem’s Operation Chaos worked better than Rush’s.

Yes indeed. I agree.
Thoughts on how to get our mojo back:

WND was quoting an article in the NYT. Nuff said?
Correction. Not the NYT but Atlantic Monthly.
