Socialism is his middle name. He thinks everyone is entitled to own property and that we should celebrate tax day so we can donate our money to the protectors of freedom, which in his eyes is the Federal Government.
Animal rights Some of Sunstein's work has addressed the question of animal rights, as he co-authored a book dealing with the subject, has written papers on it, and was an invited speaker at "FACING ANIMALS," an event at Harvard University described as "a groundbreaking panel on animals in ethics and the law."[18] “Every reasonable person believes in animal rights,” he says, continuing that "we might conclude that certain practices cannot be defended and should not be allowed to continue, if, in practice, mere regulation will inevitably be insufficient—and if, in practice, mere regulation will ensure that the level of animal suffering will remain very high." [19] Sunstein's views on animal rights generated controversy when Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) blocked his appointment to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs by Obama. Chambliss objected to the introduction of Animal Rights: Current Debates and New Directions, a volume edited by Sunstein and his then-partner Martha Nussbaum. On page 11 of the introduction, during a philosophical discussion about whether animals should be thought of as owned by humans, Sunstein notes that personhood need not be conferred upon an animal in order to grant it various legal protections against abuse or cruelty, even including legal standing for suit. For example, under current law, if someone saw their neighbor beating a dog, they currently cannot sue for animal cruelty because they do not have legal standing to do so. Sunstein suggests that granting standing to animals, actionable by other parties, could decrease animal cruelty by increasing the likelihood that animal abuse will be punished.
Yeah....that's the biggest reason I have a hard time granting him any intellectual relevance. If Cass had his way, I could bring suit against you on behalf of the deer you shoot this fall.....lol.
This is the same guy who with ol Rahmbo's brother is also advocating for the age curve in health care.
Jeff it was just to yank your chain, LOL I have no idea who the dude is nor do I care I caught a history channel show about the Second Bill of Rights TR wanted to inact. I googled it and came up with the below quote
Cass doesn't get my goat. I don't lend him ANY credence as an intellectual. He's along the same lines as Farrakhan, on my "piece-o-****-o-meter".
If the squealer lives in Kenosha then it isn't a homie of mine, who is this masked avenger you speak of?
