I was absolutely correct in saying that the Oregon vote has not been overturned. Just asked your Attorney General, only as it applies to Federally regulated drugs has any connection been made. Ask any Doctor and he will tell you that there are plenty of drugs to end a life that do not fall into this category. This all started because Oregon voted for apiece of legislation that was not complete in it’s meaning and function. Oregon thought it was so smart making it loose and free forming. It does not even specify the type or types of drug to be used, so how can there be any direct correlation.
As for Federal involvement in State issues or any issue, the Feds should not be doing a lot of things. I am not to be directly taxed by the Feds, at least in the original Constitution. However I still pay Federal tax, it is the LAW. So it is with the Law on Federal Drugs. I understand the Issues fully, but we cannot just break whatever laws we don’t agree with. If you want the Feds out of your business, do something legal about it. Read my profile, I am just as pissed about fed involvement. But you just can’t break the law.
Pain Management is very effective, very few people suffer from unbearable pain.
You in Oregon are the ones who brought the State into the Issue. Many Conservatives warned you about bringing the state into the issue. But no, you just had to have the nanny state control death. Anyone could have killed himself or herself before the law – Painlessly I might add.
Oregon State is the one controling when, where, how and why. Not the Feds on this one. Oregon is the one getting into the peoples business.
