To the Editor:

On Sept. 9, while the American media focused their spotlights on the continuing debate over nationalizing America’s health insurance industry, the U.S. Senate quietly and with little notice considered the confirmation of Harvard Law School professor Cass Sunstein as President Barack Hussein Obama’s Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the Office of Management and Budget.

Sunstein is a former colleague and friend of Barack Hussein Obama from the University of Chicago.

Unlike most of the president’s “advisors” (commonly referred to as czars), Cass Sunstein actually was confirmed by the Senate Sept. 10 by a vote of 57-40 (roll call vote 274). Both of Wisconsin’s Democrat senators voted to confirm Sunstein.

In his capacity as regulatory czar, Sunstein will be responsible for reviewing draft regulations throughout government agencies and overseeing the implementation of government-wide policies, according to the Washington Post.

The Wall Street Journal says the obscure job “wields outsize power. It oversees regulations throughout the government, from the Environmental Protection Agency to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.” Sunstein will be instrumental in administration efforts to regulate financial services, control greenhouse gases, and implement universal health care, among other things.
