The Senate voted Thursday to confirm Harvard professor Cass Sunstein as the administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the Office of Budget and Management.

[GunningForTheBuddha]

Hang on to your kidneys folks.

[BulletBobCo]

57-40

[11th Commandment]

Sounds like we where betrayed again by Chambliss.

[Army Air Corps]

Oddly enough, Bernie Sanders voted “Nay.”

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Oh goodie now my tropical fish will sue me for not feeding them on time...

[BARLF]

No more meat, pray for the ranchers.

[BulletBobCo]

Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) presided over the vote.

[shadeaud]

I just hand fed my dog his dinner. Told him tomorrow we are off to Bloomingdale’s to buy a bed for him.

[Rumplemeyer]

Please post the vote record.

[himno hero]

What crap!!!? WTF... now they are confirming czars? Another level of Govt?
This Obama thing has lost any semblance of reason.

Butflake wants to have a revolution and go backwards in time to a system that did not work? Thats exactly where he is taking America!

[Tzimisce]

It’s okay - most people aren’t using their rights anyway. :)

[Mr. Mojo]

To quote Dennis Miller from last night, “if I get served papers by a lemur I’ll be moving into Ted Nugent’s rec room.”

[SatinDoll]

I predict that this single appointment will cause more grief for this nation than most can imagine, and I can imagine quite a bit!

This will end up being among the greatest BUBARs Obama ever makes during his short time in office.

(Yeah, that last phrase, “short time in office”, is a prediction of his legal headaches to come.)

[JamesA]

A time to stand. Which side of the fence will you be on?

[BARLF]

I guess Bernie likes chicken and steak.

[BARLF]

Yep, this Cass-ass is bad, bad news.

[swarthyguy]

Vermont is a high firearms ownership state.

And despite its image, percentage wise (per capita) a higher number of soldiers serve in the military than from any other state - makes sense, it’s population is not that high.

And for all the Skibum NewYawkers and transplanted hippies, there is a unseen conservative bedrock there.

Bernie knows how to play to them.

[Uncle Miltie]

"In what sense is the money in our pockets and bank accounts fully ‘ours’? Did we earn it by our own autonomous efforts? Could we have inherited it without the assistance of probate courts? Do we save it without the support of bank regulators? Could we spend it if there were no public officials to coordinate the efforts and pool the resources of the community in which we live?... Without taxes there would be no liberty. Without taxes there would be no property. Without taxes, few of us would have any assets worth defending. [It is] a dim fiction that some people enjoy and exercise their rights without placing any burden whatsoever on the public… There is no liberty without dependency."
