I have pointed out before, nowhere in the U.S. Constitution will you find any stipulation allowing the President to appoint a "czar" that is unaccountable to We The People. Yet Obama has 34 of them. Some are outright kooks. Past Presidents have had them, but they were largely ornamental. This is different as it is tantamount to a shadow government operating outside of any accountability. Carol Browner, Obama's "Climate Czar" is a self-described socialist that has demanded the breaking of federal law. (Obama Climate Czar Carol Browner: Put NOTHING In Writing! Breaks Federal Law!) His "green Jobs Czar" Van Carter is a self-described communist. (Obama's "Green Jobs Czar" A Self-Described Communist) His "Science Czar" John Holdren co-authored a book in the 1970's adovating forced abortions and population control through seeding water with sterility drugs. (Obama's Science Czar John Holdren: Forced abortions and mass sterilization needed to save the planet!)
Now we get to Obama's "Regulatory Czar" Cass Sustein, a radical animal rights kook. From WND: Obama czar pick: 'Raving animal rights nut'. The guy actually believes that animals should be able to sue!
David Martosko, director of the Center for Consumer Freedom, told Fox News' Glenn Beck that Cass Sunstein, the Harvard Law professor nominated by the president to become the administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, is a "raving animal rights nut" and devout disciple of Peter Singer.
Singer, a bioethics professor at Princeton University, is a leader in the animal rights movement. He has also argued that abortion should be permissible because unborn babies as old as 18 weeks cannot feel pain or satisfaction.
Singer once explained his belief that, "killing a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person, that is, a being who wants to go on living."
Martosko told Beck, "When you embrace this whole utilitarian idea, guess what else comes in the back door? Some animals, according to Singer, are worth more than some humans. A smart border collie, he says, is worth more, inherently, than a retarded child. … Cass Sunstein has embraced the whole enchilada. … He believes that animals should have some of the same rights as humans, in fact, greater rights than some people – including the right to follow lawsuits."
Sunstein has also supported outlawing sport hunting, giving animals the legal right to file lawsuits and using government regulations to phase out meat consumption.
The center quotes Sunstein's 2007 speech at Harvard University, where he argued in favor of "eliminating current practices such as … meat eating" and proposed: "We ought to ban hunting, I suggest, if there isn't a purpose other than sport and fun. That should be against the law. It's time now."
He also said, "[Humans'] willingness to subject animals to unjustified suffering will be seen … as a form of unconscionable barbarity… morally akin to slavery and the mass extermination of human beings."
According to the group, Sunstein was editor of the 2004 book "Animal Rights: Current Debates and New Directions" that said "animals should be permitted to bring suit, with human beings as their representatives … Any animals that are entitled to bring suit would be represented by (human) counsel, who would owe guardian-like obligations and make decisions, subject to those obligations, on their clients' behalf."
Yikes! Read the rest over at the link. So we might have actual, real kangaroo courts if Sustein gets his way. Pretty soon after that, humans and animals will intermarry in compounds run by PETA.
