obama violated federal law?

A federal judge temporarily blocked the Obama administration Monday from using federal dollars to fund expanded human embryonic stem cell research, saying the research involves the destruction of embryos.

The ruling comes after the National Institutes of Health last year issued new guidelines permitting federal funding for research on certain stem cell lines that had already been created.

The court challenge was brought by adult stem cell researchers who argued the new rules not only would increase competition for limited funds, but violated federal law. A nonprofit group, Nightlight Christian Adoptions, also joined and argued that the government's new guidelines would decrease the number of human embryos available for adoption.

The District Court for the District of Columbia granted a preliminary injunction on the research, saying the plaintiffs would suffer "irreparable injury" from the policy and that the new guidelines violated federal law that prohibits federally funded research involving the destruction of human embryos.

It's going to be a little hard to defend this one by saying Bush did it isn't it ot?

oh yes by the way--


The Bush administration had limited taxpayer-funded research to a small number of stem cell batches, or lines, already in existence as of August 2001. Last spring, Obama lifted that restriction, potentially widening the field but letting NIH set its boundaries.

He's a "Judge" about like I'm a brain surgeon. :roll: :roll: :roll:

One thing he is though, he is clearly ostentatious.

The embryonic stem cell issue should be forgotten anyway. Nobody has been cured of anything by it, and Adult stem cell research has proven to be better and has been used with great success.
But those organizations that want to continue getting government money to promote a bad cause still want the money.
