Victory for common sense

The US Supreme Court today (17 Jan 06) upheld Oregon's physician-assisted law which the Bush government has been trying for years to repeal.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the majority, said the federal government does, indeed, have the authority to go after drug dealers and pass rules for health and safety.

But Oregon's law covers only extremely sick people -- those with incurable diseases, whom at least two doctors agree have six months or less to live and are of sound mind.

{This is a victory for common sense and democracy. After all,
the citizens of Oregon TWICE voted for the Death With Dignity Act.
