Meg Whitman, former CEO of eBay, considered by many to be a leading Republican candidate for governor of California, told reporters in May that she is a “huge fan” of President Obama’s controversial ex-green jobs czar, Van Jones.

As we’ve reported “In Brief” over recent days, “green jobs czar” Van Jones has resigned. At this moment, the Senate is voting on a procedural motion involving the nomination of Cass Sunstein.

Mr. Sunstein has been chosen by President Obama to be his “regulatory czar,” the man in charge of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. What’s THAT, you ask? Mr. Sunstein would oversee regulations throughout the federal government, including the EPA, OSHA, and much more. Below are six interesting articles offering a variety of points of view about Mr. Sunstein and more of the President’s Czars.
