Sunstein sounds like he’s out of the same pile of sh*t that got us into this mess. No way will he help us get out.

Back on topic: Novakula has been cited for hitting (and slightly injuring) a DC pedestrian. He was driving his male-ego-supporting convertible ‘Vette, and ‘didn’t know he’d hit anyone’. (Not his first run-in, either. Apparently Novak is a hazard to everyone around him.)

“history will never justify them”–their ignominy will be clearly known and will overshadow their accomplishments even if they had any. The American people would not go along with the rehabilitation of Nixon if they knew that was happening.

If Obama ends the war, then the ship of accountability will have sailed on the war. But Obama still has the responsibility to show that the human rights violations Team EW has been talking about are egregious violations of law and cannot be hidden behind OLC opinions or good faith or any such thing. If Team Bush is held accountable for even one of these then history will never justify them.

Sunstein also said the American people do not need to witness two President’s in a row face impeachment. Hogwash complete hogwash. He could not be more off target. Our country was held captive by the MSM’s and a Republican controlled congress’s obsessive fixation on President Clintons lies under oath about a blow job. Obsessive fixation! After six years of a Republican controlled congress doing absolutely NOTHING about an administration who fed the American public an intelligence snowjob and peoples lives being lost based on this “pack of lies” It is essential that this Democratically controlled congress (and those Republicans who have any real integrity) to hold the Bush Thugs ACCOUNTABLE. It is the very least that our reps can do for those who have lost their lives based on an unnecessary and immoral war.

Sunstein is out of touch with the peasants

Seriously Sunstein needs to get off the campuses of Univ of Chicago and Harvard and on too the streets. Mingle with some folks who are not all wrapped up in that academic world.

Most Americans have completely lost any faith that they had in this system. There is a moral and spiritual crisis in this country. If we do not witness our elected officials stand for any substantive accountability how can they expect the same from the common folks.

I watched Sunstein on Democracy Now yesterday.
http://www.democracynow.org/ His reasoning for not holding the thugs in the Bush administration accountable were weak and distasteful. It would be bad for the country etc etc. This guy spends too much time doing research and reading law books, he needs to get out on the street more and talk to some middle class and other citizens who are struggling and demoralized. He needs to come and visit families in Glouster, Chauncey or Trimble Ohio where two family members are working for 8 dollars an hour (because the unions were destroyed in these areas) and have a son or daughter serving in Iraq based on a “pack of lies”. (I believe he lives in Chicago he needs to go start talking to folks in Gary and in the areas of Chicago where families have family members serving in Iraq)

If Sunstein has any real interest in witnessing this country get back on its feet with any type of integrity or hope the American people need to witness this administration held accountable in very serious ways. The very same justice system that would throw any of these folks and most of us in prison for life for the crimes committed by the Bush administration and yet the Bush thugs run free, just does not stand up for these people and many more. If they are not held accountable that will only confirm for most Americans that there are indeed several Justice systems in this country and the lack of accountability will confirm ONCE AGAIN that we are NOT ALL EQUAL UNDER THE LAW. These folks are well aware of this.

If our congress people really want this country to regain any belief in this system there had better be accountability or the moral, physical and spiritual degradation that is taking place in this country will move at warp speeds.

Sunstein’s analysis is way off…I don’t care how smart he is

Cass Sunstein is making a sudden move from U Chicago to Harvard Law Obama’s alma mater to be with his new honey Samantha Power.

The Real Reason Cass Sunstein’s Going to Harvard? He’s Got the Power

And equally OT and of no substantive value to this conversation, one of my prime “PP Candidates” Tom Delay DeLay’s lawyer says he won’t seek a “pre-emptive pardon” or “to get a PP” as it’s known in the most sophisticated legal circles, but that doesn’t mean that Bush won’t [bestow a] PP on him:

That would be Candidate for President Cynthia McKinney. It’s profoundly disappointing to hear such crap from Cass Sunstein who has written so much so well in law reviews and books previously.

Back in the day Evans and Novak was a column to be respected. Bob Novak has morphed into a walking Fox Noise and should be relegated to the Judy Miller Fox Noise dungeon of shills who are much less journalists than Jon Stewart.

Or a better way to say it is Jon Stewart is exponentially more of a journalist on his show than Novak or Fox.
