FULL HEADLINE: Sunstein: Obama, not courts, should interpret law 'Beliefs and commitments' of nation's leader should supersede judges JERUSALEM – The interpretation of federal law should be made not by judges but by the beliefs and commitments of the U.S. president and those around him, according to President Obama's newly confirmed regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein.
"There is no reason to believe that in the face of statutory ambiguity, the meaning of federal law should be settled by the inclinations and predispositions of federal judges. The outcome should instead depend on the commitments and beliefs of the President and those who operate under him," argued Sunstein.

... in the face of statutory ambiguity ...There's the money phrase. Congress has so totally fallen down on the job, they all should get what the Russian legislature got.

What say you House of Representatives? Senators? Supreme court judges?
The checks and balances are being forgotten.

And, of course, this only applies to Obama—not past US Presidents. After all, Obama is “the ONE”.

The outcome should instead depend on the commitments and beliefs of the President and those who operate under him ...That sort of system worked quite well for Stalin. It could be just as effective under Obama. It would be the Liberal's Ultimate Dream: A Living Constitution interpreted by the Obama-Emanuel-Axelrod Triumvirate.
