Supreme Court Upholds Oregon Suicide Law
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court upheld Oregon's one-of-a-kind physician-assisted suicide law Tuesday, rejecting a Bush administration attempt to punish doctors who help terminally ill patients die.

Justices, on a 6-3 vote, said that federal authority to regulate doctors does not override the 1997 Oregon law used to end the lives of more than 200 seriously ill people. New Chief Justice John Roberts backed the Bush administration, dissenting for the first time.

The administration improperly tried to use a drug law to prosecute Oregon doctors who prescribe overdoses, the court majority said.

Once again, bush is trying to force the government into our personal lives. Of course, bush's toadie, John Roberts, agreed with him, but at least the majority of the SC still voted for the people, not the administration. We'll see how long that lasts!
