Obama Says No to Vetting Vetters

Hat tip to LGF:

He's not so smooth without a teleprompter, is he?

Obama doesn't vet his vetters, and Democrats most certainly don't vet his voters:

Andy,
Here's another interesting association of Obama's: Cass Sunstein

In his 2004 book The Second Bill of Rights: FDR's Unfinished Revolution and Why We Need It More than Ever, Sunstein argues that citizens' rights exist only to the extent that they are granted by the government.

Sunstein, who believes that the federal courts are dominated by conservatives, agrees with Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer's assertion that the Constitution is a «living» document whose meanings and mandates change with the passage of time. Arguing against the doctrine of original intent, he supports Breyer's contention that Justices should be less concerned with the clear and intended meaning of the words and phrases which the Framers wrote into the Constitution, than with determining how best to apply the Constitution's supposed underlying principle, or Big Picture. In Breyer's view (which Sunstein shares), this underlying principle was the Framers' wish to grant future generations of Americans -- through the Supreme Court -- a measure of «active liberty,» or «the freedom to participate in government itself.» By this mechanism, Justices are, for all practical purposes, free to read whatever meanings they wish into the actual words of the Constitution.
