   Sustein se ocupa si de drepturile animalelor sustinand dreptul acestora de a …ne da in judecata!
   In cartea scrisa alaturi de Martha Nussbaum, Animal Rights se afirma urmatoarele:

   „My simplest suggestion is that private citizens should be given the right to bring suits to prevent animals from being treated in a way that violates current law. I offer a recommendation that is theoretically modest but that should do a lot of practical good: laws designed to protect animals against cruelty and abuse should be amended and interpreted to give a private cause of action against those who violate them, so as to allow private people to supplement the efforts of public prosecutors. Somewhat more broadly, I will suggest that animals should be permitted to bring suit, with human beings as their representatives, to prevent violations of current law.”

   Citatul este din capitolul 11 ititulat „Can amimals sue?”

   Ne explica tov. Sustein care este mecanismul prin care animlele ii „imputernicesc” pe „reprezentantii” lor sa le „reprezinte” in proces?

   Intr-o alta carte din 2005, The Second Bill of Rights: FDR’S Unfinished Revolution and Why We Need It More than Ever Sustein arata ca nu s-au atins obiectivele propuse de Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1944:

   In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all regardless of station, race, or creed.

   Among these are:

   The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the Nation;

   The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;

   The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;

   The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;

   The right of every family to a decent home;

   The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;

   The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;

   The right to a good education.

   Unul din pasajele semnificative ale cartii: „daca oamenii bogati au o multime de bani, este deoarece guvernul le furnizeaza un sistem in care ei au dreptul sa aiba si sa isi tina acei bani”.

   Dupa mii de miliarde de dolari pe care Obama i-a cerut pentru „stimulusul economic” in care sute de milioane de dolari sint dati pentru aeroporturi fanotma, milioane de dolari pentru studii despre imperecherea la soareci, miliarde pentru MGM care citeva luni mai tirziu da dat faliment… atitea miliarde, iar NY-ului i se taie fondurile pentru aparare…
   astia sint tarii lui Obama la lucru

   Stunning: Despite Plot, NYC’s Terror Funds Slashed

   Plan To Put Radiological Sensors Within 50-Mile Radius Of City On Hold After Dept. Of Homeland Security Nixes Cash

   NY (CBS) – After facing one of the most serious terror threats since the 9-11 attacks, Department of Homeland Security officials are slashing a big chunk of anti-terror funding to New York City

   Local lawmakers say the cut could put American lives at risk.

   Just weeks after Najibullah Zazi was nabbed in an al-Qaida terror plot to explode dirty bombs here, the feds have inexplicably slashed Big Apple terror funding designed to build a network of sensors to uncover nuclear or radioactive devices in a 50 miles radius of the city.

   „To me this is beyond comprehension that less than a month after al-Qaida attempted an attack against New York City that you would have the Congress cutting the money that New York City needs to defend itself from a dirty bomb attack. It’s absolutely mind-boggling,” Rep. Peter King, R-Long Island, told CBS 2 HD on Thursday afternoon.

   The city wanted $40 million to build the network at bridges, tunnels and other locations in the metropolitan area. Congress only earmarked $20 million for the program and then slipped NYC a doubly whammy — the money is in a pot that other city’s can apply for, so we may not even get the $20 million.

   „This $20 million can be spread around like political pork the way other homeland security funds have been spread around the country,” King said.

   „This is a bad day for New York.”

   Added Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.: „It is apparent as the nose on your face that New York’s a target and we need these funds more than any other part of the country.”

   Police Commissioner Ray Kelly also cited the Zazi case as more reason for NYC to get the funds.

   „Having been in Washington myself for four and a half years it is a mysterious place. I can’t figure out exactly what happened,” Kelly said.

   Police sources told CBS 2 the lack of funds will affect the ability to develop new technology that detects dirty bombs coming into the city.

   Schumer said he wants to change the way the funds are allocated so the city gets the money automatically and doesn’t have to fight for it each and every year.
