I am going to have to see which president appointed Royce Lamberth... This is a good decision, but has this judge been an activist judge in the past?

[topher]

Royce Lamberth was appointed by Ronald Reagan.

He definitely won one for the Gipper! The Gipper must be smiling from heaven about this!

[Domangart]

Never mind that it has been a total failure.

Federal court blocks Obama administration’s stem cell policy

  August 24, 2010

Citing the 1995 Dickey Amendment, in which Congress banned the federal funding of “research in which a human embryo or embryos are destroyed,” the US District Court for the District of Columbia temporarily halted the Obama administration’s expanded funding of human embryonic stem cell research. “Embryonic stem cell (ESC) research necessarily depends upon the destruction of a human embryo,” wrote Judge Royce Lamberth.

This was strictly due to a technical reading of the law passed in 1996. Truth be told, this judge originally threw the case out.
