cass is also for banning hunting and allowing animals to take legal action against people...
...and he believes that not every person should have the same "value" rating when it comes to healthcare and that the gov't should be allowed to statistically evaluate whether or not someone's life is worth treating.

Roll,
So far the BO administration has been arrogance on steroids. First to go down was Jones. This brought significant insight to the BO agenda.
From here on out, anything said or proposed by any czar will come under intense scrutiny. It went from these people have some weird convictions to holy shit, their serious.

Glenn Beck released a statement later today on the resignation of communist-Truther Green Czar Van Jones.
>>> The American people stood up and demanded answers. Instead of providing them, the Administration had Jones resign under cover of darkness. I continue to be amazed by the power of everyday Americans to initiate change in our government through honest questioning, and judging by the other radicals in the administration, I expect that questioning to continue for the foreseeable future. <<<

Trying to "find" things to bring everyone down. What a douchebag.
Cass Sunstein is one of the pre-eminent legal scholars in the country. He's not even liberal on legal issues either.
Pretty clear that it makes no difference who OBama nominates, hirs or associates with, the Beck and Limbaugh nuts are going to try to bring them down. Pretty pathetic.

Anyone sincerely interested can create a list of at least a dozen or more somewhat prominent federal officals (both elected and appointed) who - since the late 1990s - have declared various reasons why the federal government should position itself to "control the internet", even though such a notion is absurd.
My own earliest recollection is from 1999 when then Director of the FBI - Louis Freeh - along with Florida's US Rep Bill McCollum (now the AG for Florida) were lobbying Congress to pass a variety of bills aimed at allowing the government to monitor internet content. Their reasoning was that if such content were carefully monitored (itself a laughable notion) then terrorist plots could be foiled.
Other equally absurd suggestions to "control the internet" have come from various Congressmen of past ten years who want to assure that Americans don't make monetary transactions that are illegal (internet based gambling one of most commonly targeted transactions).
And of course there's the reasoning expressed by the current Obama-appointee that has been pushed by numerous fed-types in past ten years. That is, we need to control the internet in order to block "inaccurate stories", "hate speech" and all manner of whatever web content happens to be tripping some guy or gal's trigger up in Washington.
All of the above thinking shares common foundation in the absurd belief that a government entity could for any significant period of time "control the worldwide web".
Oh, it's certainly feasible for an individual operator to control both the incoming and outgoing flow of internet from their private location.
What's NOT feasible is any government agency being able to control either the incoming or outgoing flow for all users of the worldwide web.
The point is not wether they can or can't.Why the fuck would they want to???
You people just got through bitching goverment intruding on rights for the past 8 years.(wiretaps of overseas phonecalls of suspected terrorist overseen by the courts and justice dept)
And this bunch of inglorious basterds want to be involved in every facet of our lives and privacy.
What the fuck is it that you guys don't understand about real fascist?
The point is in fact whether they can or cannot.
They cannot seize control of the worldwide web
It was true when the FBI wanted to do it in Clinton's last term.
It was true during the past eight years when various Congressmen, Dick Cheney and others in BushCo wanted to do it.
And it's still true today when one or more dorks in Obama's admin or the current Congress proposes it.
Thus, anyone who gets into much of a lather worrying about what "They" might do with regard to "controlling the internet" is really showing themselves to be part of the dork train as well.
