The same critics that successfully lobbied for the resignation of White House adviser Van Jones are now attacking Cass Sunstein, a prominent legal scholar and a professor at Harvard Law School.

At the time, Sunstein was lauded by many conservatives, including the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal.

Cass Sunstein has made it quite clear in the past that he does not like hunting and that he believes that animals should be able to sue people.
