So Mrs. Cass Sunstein is the major architecht of Obama's Libya war policy

There should be nothing wrong in itself to be married to "neocons' lawyer in chief". But when the mrs. like the mr. also advocates that President can make key military decisions without congressional approval, one has to say that the cabbage didn't fall far from the tree.

Military Commissions

In 2002, at the height of controversy over Bush's creation of military commissions without Congressional approval, Sunstein stepped forward to insist that "[u]nder existing law, President George W. Bush has the legal authority to use military commissions" and that "President Bush's choice stands on firm legal ground." Sunstein scorned as "ludicrous" the argument from Law Professor George Fletcher that the Supreme Court would find Bush's military commissions without any legal basis.



If NYT claims are correct, both mr and mrs should be ashamed of their conduct.

Not sure if Obama has a mommy-daddy complex but it is strange.
