Cass Sunstein in his own words

google videos ^ | April 24, 2 | Cass Sunstein

[finnsheep]

Our proposed regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein wants to ban hunting, animal agriculture and give animals the right to sue in court.

His notion is that more can be accomplished by tweaking regulations like the Endangered Species Act to achieve his aims than straightforward attempts to give animals rights to sue in court and be represented by a lawyer as he has proposed. Senators Chambliss and Cornyn have put holds on his nomination, but they and our other representatives need to hear from us.

The relevant part is 48 minutes into the video. You only need to listen to about two minutes.

One down, many to go.

[Marysecretary]

Where in hell does he come up with these dingbats? They’re dangerous to our freedom. Oh, wait....

[himno hero]

Exactly, all these infantile nutcases.

[Keflavik76]

It must be a requirement to be a nutjob to work for the Obama administration.

[gov_bean_ counter]

... and up in the White House
an absurd little turd
is popping out to say
Cuckoo
Cuckoo

[Eleutheria5]

Wow. Just like in the Middle Ages, when pigs and goats could be indicted for capital offenses, and got a trial with lawyers. Back then there wasn’t any global warming, either.

[geologist]

“His notion is that more can be accomplished by tweaking regulations like the Endangered Species Act to achieve his aims than straightforward attempts ... “

this is the same idea Obama has about health care, he said just’ give me a sliver and I will go from there.

‘Tweaking’ every little thing until he has exactly what he wanted in the first place.

Beware ‘tweaking’. Do not allow the health care bill.

So, in Sunstein’s world, if a cat kills and eats a bird, does the bird’s family get to sue the cat? The cat’s owner?

[Wonder Warthog]

"Where in hell does he come up with these dingbats?

I was thinking precisely the same thing. I suspect that the appointment of one nutjob after another is part of the reason for Obama's plunging popularity. These people are so crazy that even the mainstream media is showing glimmers of catching on.

“We ought to ban hunting”...”It’s time” (about the 49:30 mark)

Sunstein watched “Mr Rogers” faithfully every day it was broadcast......

[Charles Martel]

"Our proposed regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein wants to ban hunting...

I suppose we could always hunt something other than game animals.

[NewHampshireDuo]

Oh for the days when bad stuff in the White House was idiotic Hollywood types jumping on the bed in the Lincoln bedroom. Obama’s really dragged in the dirty red diapers.

[matginzac]

So this is the next one in the hot seat? Let’s do it and maybe we can go all the way to the top!!!!!!

[Marysecretary]

I’d hate to be friends with the Obamas. I couldn’t sit down in a dinner party with all these kooks. I might grab one of them around the neck...

[gibsosa]

bump to that!!

[FrankR]

"It must be a requirement to be a nutjob to work for the Obama administration. "

obama IS the nutjob in the administration...he's got ot have a screw loose somewhere.

[RC2]

Not really......all you have to do is have a desire to break down the United States and make it a third world country. I honestly believe that Obama’s plans are to lower the middle class of our country down to the ghetto level. He wants to give them everything you have worked for and thereby making them totally relient on him. The biggest problem I have with this.....who is going to do all the work on computers, run businesses, and the list goes on. The ghetto people sure as hell can’t do it.

[linn37]

Interesting, folks around here try to call the deer to the stand every fall. ;^) Now you say them deer is getting all lawyered up?

[gedeon3]

This practice of using Czars should be outlawed. So Republicans have done it too; kill such practice anyway. I have already contacted my 2 senators here in Ga. We need to start a movement to eliminate once and for all this practice of appointing czars.

It would appear he would also like to see the end of meat eating. Good luck with that one. Who vets these fools?

Great. That’s all I need. Mice suing me for putting dangerous mousetraps out.

[Anima Mundi]

They could not “vet” this guy because it would be animal abuse.

“I suppose we could always hunt something other than game animals.”

Now that’s funny.

[sig226]

Sad to say, we’re already at that point. Several states require a hearing if an animal bites someone. Evidence is presented and if the animal is determined to be “dangerous” then it is put down. Dangerous does not mean that it tore the head off an infant sleeping in a pram. It means that it bit, even if it bit because some fool was poking it with a stick. My former home state of New Jersey had such rules.

[savedbygrace]

I listened to this video. Sunstein is a real nut case. It isn’t even a close call.

[BuffaloJack]

Something to think about.
Does Obama appoint these dingbat whackos with the intent that they are red herrings to occupy the conservatives, while he is doing far more devious things.
These whacko czars seem to fall on their swords rather easily to take the heat off of the ONE.

[khnyny]

If you do a little more digging on this guy you will see that there are MULTIPLE problems. Sunstein believes that Roosevelt's New Deal did not go far enough and that it is time for the second part of the New Deal. I believe both him and Obama see Obama as the new Roosevelt. In essence, Sunstein’s theory with this book seems an awful lot like communism. And let's not even get started on how he perceives and interprets the Constitiution - lol.

Sunstein has written several books, here are the title of two:

The Second Bill of Rights: FDR's Unfinished Revolution—And Why We Need It More Than Ever by Cass Sunstein

A Constitution of Many Minds: Why the Founding Document Doesn't Mean What It Meant Before by Cass R. Sunstein

[Hawthorn]

>> Our proposed regulatory czar commissar, Cass Sunstein <<

Hey folks, what say we resolve to call Cass what he really aims to be, a commissar.

(Or if you're a geeky purist who prefers the original Russki spelling, комиссар!)

The views of Cass Sunstein.

[WKUHilltopper]

Remember Ozombie told us to judge him on who his advisers were...frankly, I’ve seen enough to make a good judgment.

[Yorlik803]

Maybe Gauleiter would be another term.
These people must be brain damaged or stupid.Either way they should as far away from places of power as possible.

[Marysecretary]

All of them seem to be ‘over the top’ politically, don’t they?

I too hate this stupid bureaucracy. If an animal bites someone it should be shot on the spot, no stupid "hearings". It's an animal after all.

[sig226]

I’m not talking about animals that mauled a person, like a pit bull that was trained to be vicious by some crack dealer. The cases in New Jersey were about neighborhood dogs that bit someone for whatever reason. Sometimes the reason was that someone was tormenting the animal before it bit. That didn’t matter in the hearing. They ordered it destroyed.

[Condor51]

Where in hell does he come up with these dingbats?

Insane Asylums and Detox Centers.

[Marysecretary]

it DOES make you wonder, doesn’t it?

[SandRat]

So, in Sunstein’s world, if a cat kills and eats a bird, does the bird’s family get to sue the cat? The cat’s owner?

No.. but if it's a RAT.. well that's a different story.

[SandRat]

[Ann Archy]

Animals SUING????? End Times for sure. Where do these liberal nutcases work before they get into government jobs?? How do sensible people PAY these LUNATICS???

[kcvl]

give animals rights to sue in court and be represented by a lawyer as he has proposed

And if you read his loooonnngg essay on the subject he includes flies and rats as animals.

[Charles Martel]

I think you meant “Dahmer”. Regardless, I was thinking more of hunting for “trophies”; the likely targets are probably too stringy and greasy for the table. ;-)

[Prokopton]

Any animal that bites me, for any reason, will be summarily executed.

Obama’s latest nancy boy pick wants to ban hunting. What an idiot.
