Administration Appeals Court Stay on Stem Cell Funding

The Obama Administration’s Justice Department filed paperwork in federal court seeking to lift the ban on federal funding of human embryonic stem cell research that was ordered by Judge Royce Lamberth of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Lamberth ruled that a presidential executive order could not supplant existing legislation barring this use of taxpayer money.

The Justice Department’s motion argued that Lamberth’s ruling is invalid because “the President’s executive order was issued subsequent to the legislation upon which the Court based its ruling” and that “this subsequent law making, therefore supercedes the earlier act of congress.”

The motion also characterized Lamberth’s ruling as “anti-democratic.” “In 2008, voters chose Barack Obama to be this nation’s ruler for the next four years. For the Court to harken back to a law passed before he was elected would place a mere piece of paper ahead of the will of the people. This sort of rigidity undermines a democratic process that must be unfettered if government is to have the flexibility to respond to changing needs.”

A final argument offered by the motion cited the negative impact the ruling would have on employment at the National Institute of Health. “The scientists and staff of this well-respected institute have come to depend upon this money,” the motion read. “Surely, the needs of these real people must take precedence over the theoretical interests of the purported ‘human lives’ that the statute champions.”

Another good one, John! Although, it all sounds sooo much like their actual thinking process!

“In 2008, voters chose Barack Obama to be this nation’s ruler for the next four years.”

Hell, no. Even if I had voted for the SOB, I’d not have been voting for him to be our “ruler,” any more than I voted for Reagan or the Bushes to be our “rulers.” When did anyone vote for a “ruler?”

These guys are frightening in the revelation of their mindset.

ok,I should have read the attribution ... but it just comes too close to the truth !

Thanks again for the ping John.

Guys: Be sure to read the rest. They’re all good. Especially like the one about replacing IRS tax forms with assessments.

So far, I see one nibble, even though he figured it out later.

You’ve still “got” it! ;o)

Far too much truth in this satire.
