Cass Sunstein: Obama Supporter, Defender, Idiot

Scott, Powerline [1], attributes this drivel, to one Cass Sunstien, supporter of the One and purported perfessor of Law at Univerity of Chicago.  Perfessor Sustien holds there ought to a Second Bill of Rights which would include:

In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all–regardless of station, race, or creed.

Among these are:

The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;

The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;

The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;

The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;

The right of every family to a decent home;

The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;

The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;

The right to a good education.

Perfessor Sustien would not know a right, even if rights were holes in the ground, and he fell into one.    As enshrined by the Declaration of Indepence, our nation’s founding document, rights are presumed to endowed by the Creator.    Rights are endowed by God and enjoyed by all Men.

What Perfessor Sustien calls rights are not rights at all.   They do not emanate from God, but from the results of human endeavors.   What Sustien calls rights are in fact commodities, the results of human labors.   For example, Perfessor Sustien may feel we all have a right to a decent home.  Yet God does not build homes.  Men build homes.   Perfessor Sustien can not give a home built by the hand of man to one man without first taking it from another man.  

In a free society there are no rights to commodities.  If Perfessor Sustien can not, or will not, distinguish between a right given by the grace of God and commodity built by the hand of man, he is not qualifed to teach law.   If Barack Obama conflates commodities for rights, he is woefully ignorant of our nation’s founding documents, the Declaration of Independce and the Constitution of the United States.   Obama is not qualified to teach law,  much less serve as a nations chief law enforcement officer.   Obama is not merely opposed to the First and Second Amendments, he opposed to our Constitution.

The United States may not be perfect, but is sure isn’t Cuba either.
