WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld Oregon's one-of-a-kind physician-assisted suicide law, rejecting a Bush administration attempt to punish doctors who help terminally ill patients die.
Justices, on a 6-3 vote, said the 1997 Oregon law used to end the lives of more than 200 seriously ill people trumped federal authority to regulate doctors.
Who are the three? Scalia, Thomas, Roberts?
How did that happen when there are only 8 members currently sitting on the Supreme Court?
Who determines the suicide??? The patient, patient's family, or the doctor???
