Obama's regulatory chief pushes new 'bill of rights'

Sunstein effort to change interpretation of Constitution by 2020

A government that is constitutionally required to offer each citizen a "useful" job in the farms or industries of the nation.

A country whose leadership intercedes to ensure every farmer can sell his product for a good return.

A nation that has the power to act against "unfair competition" and monopolies in business.

This is not a description of Cuba, communist China, or the USSR until 1991.

It's the vision of the future of the U.S, a radical new "bill of rights" drawn up and pushed by President Obama's newly confirmed regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein.

In 2004, Sunstein penned a book, "The Second Bill of Rights: FDR'S Unfinished Revolution and Why We Need It More than Ever," in which he advanced the radical notion that welfare rights, be granted by the state.

It also suggests strategy for how liberal lawyers and judges might bring such a constitutional regime into being.

Among his mandates 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.

[Huck]

I notice there's a right to a "good" education, but only "adequate" medical care. I guess we'd better unionize the doctors if we want to see that change.

These guys really are commies.

[exnavy]

And of coarse no right to own a firearm.

[BuffaloJack]

What a complete moron.

[Blood of Tyrants]

And again. You have no “right” to ANYTHING that must be provided by the labors of another.

[Disambiguator]

No mention of a right to arms. What a shocker.

This sounds suspiciously like the Soviet constitution.

[La Lydia]

Very little difference between this and Stalin’s first Five Year Plan, which as we all know, worked out so well.

[benjibrowder]

The Republicans that voted for him are fools.

Nothing surprises me anymore.

[Buckeye McFrog]

in fairness, I think he stole all of that boilerplate stuff from FDR

[OpusatFR]

This is absolute claptrap.

It’s like we have a government comprised solely of campaign sloganeers running around creating havoc.

Will the real statesmen and women somewhere please get rid of these baby boomer Woodstock Commie-lite hippies and do something!

[Steamburg]

Marxism is on the march in this land and I fear that if the States don’t stop it there is a future of tyranny and bloodshed within our lifetime.

[mrmeyer]

Yep, pushing this would definitely be one of many possible events they'll use to trigger it.

[STONEWALLS]

“The right of every family to a decent home;....”

.....Government housing projects have been giving poor people a decent home for 50 years now....you see how they tear them up....turn them into dangerous, trashy places.

[BornToBeAmerican]

Take him out....simple

[livius]

A lot of this nonsense, although less specific, is already in the EU (European Union) “Constitution.” It’s not about natural human rights, but about things the government is supposed to give to you; in other words, everything that comes to you is not what you are free to work for and earn, but what the government sees fit to give you.

[uscabjd]

What each of these rights creates is an ability to go to court, sue and get it. Any citizen can sue any other , or enjoin gov’t business, if the citizen or gov’t does something which impedes these “rights”. Our society will become one continuous lawsuit.

[BornToBeAmerican]

We need to rid the Earth of this guy now!!!!

“In 2004, Sunstein penned a book, “The Second Bill of Rights: FDR’S Unfinished Revolution and Why We Need It More than Ever,” in which he advanced the radical notion that welfare rights, including some controversial inceptions, be granted by the state. His inspiration for a new bill of rights came from President Roosevelt’s 1944 proposal of a different, new set of bill of rights.

WND has learned that in April 2005, Sunstein opened up a conference at Yale Law School entitled “The Constitution in 2020,” which sought to change the nature and interpretation of the Constitution by that year. “

Of course it is claptrap - The other half of The Zero's administration wants to shut down all of the mining, manufacturing, and farming jobs that will be left after his economic policies are implemented....

And where is the freedom of religion, the "free doom" of speech?
