Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

More devastating than a tsunami, more tragic than a Hurricane, more destructive than a Earthquake.

Be AFFRAID, be very affraid.

as I said on the other thread, we are on the slippery slope as this country moves fast to the left.

Not much that can stop it now as we meld further into one global economy/order.

I wonder if the same rationale will be used in abortion cases.

Who determines the suicide??? The patient, patient's family, or the doctor???

So a doctor can help a patient die with lethal drugs, but can't help a patient live with medical marijuana. Go figure.

The right to life is no more a 'matter for the states' than religious liberty, freedom of speech or assembly or any other fundamental God-given right that is spelled out in the Bill of Rights.

Our legal and political leaders have come loose from all of the most important moral moorings.

YOU WERE RIGHT!

"The authority desired by the government is inconsistent with the design of the statute in other fundamental respects. The attorney general does not have the sole delegated authority under the (law)," Kennedy wrote for himself, retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and Justices John Paul Stevens, David Souter, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen Breyer. Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia dissented.

True.

And by the way, there is a vast difference between the parts of Oregon law that let a terminally ill person make their own free choice to end it all, and the laws that let a pregnant woman kill her child on a mere whim.

And doctors are afraid to proscribe pain killers that actually kill pain, even when the patient is terminal, because the feds will run them through a microscope. Keep figuring.

This ruling will set the stage for the euthanizing of the baby boomer's once they become to big of a burden on their families.
