When such a dreaded act is legalized on any level of government the lives of all free people are then in danger. You would do well to find out just who actually is behind such an insane notion as assisted suicide and why. Again I say currently over two thirds of our federal, state, and local laws are now written for the specific purpose of controlling profit loss for one monetary special interest group namely the insurance companies.
As it stands right now you, I, or the person next door has the ability to end our life of our own act. Yet for some reason you want governemnt to give it's stamp of approval to the act as well? The federal courts would have an interest in preserving life especially when laws support ending life extend beyond the scope of Capitol Punishment. The very fact that this issue must be debated at all shows a deep sickness of our nations people and I'm not talking about a physical one.
I'm going to ask you again, what clause in the constitution gives the federal government the ability to override the Oregon Assisted Suicide law?
Let me clarify, there is no federal authority for overturning Oregon's law. There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that allows the federal government to have any control over what the people of Oregon decide in this matter.
I want this matter to be left to the states, I want the U.S. Constitution to be followed.
And for the record, I oppose Oregon's law, but I don't live in Oregon. If we aren't a nation of laws, governed by a Constitution, then what are we?
