Who is Samantha Powers and Cass Sunstein

Samantha Powers is the current nominee by President Obama to be UN Ambassador.  But who is she and what is her relationship to the radical professor Cass Sunstein.  Well, they are husband and wife.   

Samantha Powers has made controversial statements in the past and none more noteworthy than her comment on Israel.  In a response she gave to a question, it appeared to indicate a possible willingness to send in U.S. troops to impose peace on Israel.  That is, to impose a peace, send our troops on the border of Israel and not facing the Palestinians, but Israel.  In 2008, Power had to resign from the Obama campaign after calling democratic nomination opponent Hillary Clinton a “monster.”  Of course, on that she may have been correct since after all, with her being a controversial figure, "What difference does it make". 

But her husband, Cass Sunstein is a very controversial figure who has a distain for our constitution and constitutional rights.  Cass Sunstein has made some of the following remarks. 

A proposal that the government ban “conspiracy theorizing,” including by sending agents to infiltrate websites and chat rooms. Among the beliefs he would ban, is that the theory of global warming is a deliberate fraud.

On Rumors, he argued websites should be obliged to remove “false rumors” while libel laws should be altered to make it easier to sue for spreading such “rumors.”

In the book, he cited as a primary example of “absurd” and “hateful” remarks, reports by “right-wing websites” alleging an association between President Obama and Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers.  Of course that relationship is well documented, but this was an attempt to disassociate the two from creating a problem during Obama's campaign.

He also singled out radio talker Sean Hannity for “attacking” Obama regarding the president’s “alleged associations.”  He has made it known his dislike for differing opinion from his perspective. 

He also pushed and is still pushing for a “Fairness Doctrine” that would include the establishment of a panel of “nonpartisan experts” to ensure “diversity of view” on the airwaves.  He compared the need for the government to regulate broadcasting to the moral obligation the U.S. had to impose new rules that outlawed segregation.  In other words, freedom of speech should be regulated.

In April 2005, he opened up a conference at Yale Law School titled “The Constitution in 2020,” which sought to change the nature and interpretation of the Constitution by that year. He was a founder of the movement.  And guess who sponsored this event.  None other than George Soros, Open Society Institute, a extremely radical group that has only one thing in mind, the destruction of the United States as we know it.   

So this is a husband and wife team and if you don't think that they do not influence each other, and have similar thoughts on world and domestic affairs, you may have just arrived from another planet.  But then again, if you do not believe our government is not acting contrary to our constitution, then you may find this UN appointment, not a big deal.  And our slide into tyranny will continue and someday we will all wake up and wonder "what the hell just happened and why did we allow this to happen".
