From what I hear in the news the Court’s ruling says that the federal drug laws, that were used in the effort to stop the suicide law, were not meant to regulate medical practices.

But, if the Court has accepted that the federal government can regulate medicines (by virtue of having accepted the role of the the FDA) as part of its power to regulate interstate commerce, how can the Court say that the federal government has no power to regulate medical practices that involve drugs, which the federal government can regulate?

Of course this ruling may have its upside. Each Oregonian that commits suicide may mean one less liberal voting. But, then again these dead Oregonians may just move to Chicago.

Conservates are FOR judicial activism and states rights when it favors their EVIL AGENDA and vice versa.
This ruling is classic case!
They have no ethics.
They have no morals.
Only their repressive agenda!
Shame on you conservatives for favoring the continued suffering of terminal patients.
It could be you, fools!
FILIBUSTER SCANDALITO!

Personally, I think that they should also. Let's get this threat over with.

I would rather see them play thier fooligh gambit now, and have their arses handed back on a platter, and have it weigh them down come November, than hold off for a time when Bush gets a chance to nominate the next Justice.

TQ, you are my kind of stratetist.
