Obama's Pick for Regulatory Czar wants Animals to be able to Sue Humans



President Obama's nominee for "regulatory czar" has hit a new snag in his Senate confirmation process -- a "hold" by Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who's says he's not convinced that Harvard professor Cass Sunstein won't push a radical animal rights agenda, including new restrictions on agriculture and even hunting.

"...specifically the fact that he wants to establish legal 'rights' for livestock, wildlife and pets, which would enable animals to file lawsuits in American courts..."

"he also advocated restricting animal testing for cosmetics, banning hunting and encouraging the general public to eat less meat."
