A consumer-freedom group says President Obama's nominee for "regulatory czar" is an "animal-rights zealot" who may make life difficult for hunters and meat-eaters.
Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) has placed a hold on the nomination of legal scholar Cass Sunstein to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the Office of Budget and Management. Cornyn is worried that the Harvard professor may push an aggressive animal-rights agenda in the White House. Sunstein has argued in favor of outlawing sport hunting and meat-eating, and written that animals should be allowed to file lawsuits "with human beings as their representatives."
David Martosko with the Center for Consumer Freedom shares Cornyn's concern.
Cass Sunstein"If Cass Sunstein is ultimately confirmed to be the regulatory czar, having an animal-rights zealot in that position for the first time could be problematic for Americans who love to hunt, who like seeing circuses, [who like] having animals, who like taking their kids to the zoo, who like feeding their children meat and milk at lunch time," he warns.

He does stuff like this just to piss us off knowing full well we can do nothing about it.
(yet)
Believe it or not: Harvard researchers are studying how gorillas make economic decisions.
This is not a joke.
But, jeez, how are animals going to sue humans? Who do they go to? The US Humane Society?
Sustein just doesn’t get the part where God gave man dominion over the animals. Oh, I forgot, that’s in the Bible and that’s probably NOT on Sustein’s reading list.
Seems this lying poser is just trying to pick a fight with all kinds of groups of conservatives.
Hope the C.I.A. is not afraid to show the punk as the cheep criminal he is.
He's (gonna be) a czar?
.. we are about to be czarred and fettered.
Now I know why his college records are hidden.
He’s a flippin’ moron.
My cats want to see Barky's birth cert or they will sue!
Is BO insane??? And what a black eye for Harvard to have such infamous weirdos among its faculty. There ought to be a law against having any Ivy League alums in the federal government because it is obvious that they are not residents of planet Earth.
Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) has placed a hold—
Needs to be rejected now - shouldn’t hold for a second longer.
This sicko also believes in infanticide, He thinks executing 2 year old babies is OK.. They have less rights than animals.
"I'm Cass Sunstein &He's a barking Moonbat.
"I'll Run Everything!"
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
ahahahahahaha!!
In the case of Fluff vs. The President of the United States.....
How f—kin stupid can ya get.
BAWAHAHAHA! May I please use your brilliant line as a tag?
Please?
I'm getting a fine tootsy-frootsying right here...
Without thumbs, how will they sign the checks they receive if they win?
Yes, of course and you do not have to include my FReep name. The important thing is to inform. Thanks.
It was born of a column title, Czarred and Feathered.
Though I did not read the column the word fetter seemed infinitely more appropriate given our woe of being governed by 1960s Marxist-Alinsky hippie street rabble and their ideological issue (children)-cum-Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party).
I remember a column by John Fund stressing the importance of descriptive phrases. For example, the death tax. That was much better than "estate tax" for getting the support of the apolitical.
I hope czar and fettering helps the apolitical understand what we are facing.
The filing of such a suit should be the equivalent of "the shot heard around the world" against enviro-Nazis and their kindred.
Coming during the second term—plant rights. If you don’t protect your vegetable garden from deer, the vegetables can sue you.
Where? In the still White House???
