(I could be way late with this on the forum, but don't have time to read all the posts)
According to the NYT, linked through my signature: "Mr. Obama also was poised to name Cass R. Sunstein, an American legal scholar, to an existing White House post as the administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. A transition official said late Wednesday that Mr. Sunstein would oversee government regulations and devise new approaches for government efficiencies."
Would these efficiencies include more efficient ways of warrantless spying on Americans, more cost-efficient ways to violate the Constitution and take away civil liberties? Yeah, I know, I'm being cynical. But really, aren't there lots of efficiency experts who don't favor immunity for corporations (not to mention government officials) who commit federal felonies?
