[Texas Federalist]

This is to fund research of embryonic stem cells that otherwise already exists. The money is not to create the stem cells, but to study them.

Even assuming this is true (which it is not), this bill provides federal funding of research more efficiently conducted by the private sector. How could a fiscal conservative even be in favor of this bill?

"Even assuming this is true (which it is not), . . ."

I agreed with everything you posted Texas Federalist, but I'm isolating the first portion of it to suggest a second alternative ending that I consider equally valuable.

"Even assuming this is true (which it is not), successful use of the research money could potentially lead to nightmare scenarios typical of the scariest science-fiction stories in which human embryo factories would be used to sustain pharmaceutical company profits."

How many votes are needed to override a Presidential veto and is it likely to be overidden(I hope not)?
