You've got what you asked for

Not nearly as creative as that coked-up frat boys actual pronouncement that NO federal funding should go to embryonic stem cell research! Perhaps, in many ways, it is Bush's fault once again.

Could you point out the clause in the Constitution that allows the Federal Government to fund embryonic stem cell research?

Can you name the statute preventing any of the States or from Private investors from doing it?

Can you stop lying and pretending that Federal Funds are the only way to do research?

Federal funding isn't the only way to conduct embryonic stem cell research. But it is the most expedient way to have research funded. Consider the results of federal money on technology. From the electrification of the west and rural south to the development of atomic energy right through the space program, federal funding led the way and produced beneficial results.

Where's the privately funded space program?

Is Federally Funded Stem Cell Research going to defend us against the Soviet Union, or help end WW II?

In other words, you have no authority to do it.

So much for the family bloodline. And how easy is it to adopt a child today?

Make it easier to adopt.

Not exactly rocket science.

So, married gay couples should be eligible to adopt?

I have no problem with gays adopting. I suspect a lot of people have no problem with that.

No. Stem cell research isn't a defense program. It's to promote the general welfare and keep the United States in the lead developing new beneficial technologies. Thereby keeping our economy strong.

So, the Feds should fund every program that:

1. Promotes General Welfare
2. Keeps the USA in the Lead developing new beneficial technologies

Goodness, I just had An Epiphany: a potion designed to make the world sing in perfect harmony which will require the Patented Samson Octopus Milker to manufacture. I expect the Federal Government to budget $5B to helping Samson Octo Inc. develop this cutting edge technology.

First, the General Welfare clause isn't a grant of authority.

Second, I am not benefiting one wit from companies preforming stem cell research. It's rather hard to argue general welfare when the only ones benefiting are the major corporations who no longer have to pay for their own research.

And you didn't benefit from companies doing research for the space program. Until that research opened the door to the technological advances you enjoy today.

And now there are companies making the goods that research developed.

No, I have an endless list of ideas a fool-hardy government that has a bottomless budget can finance.

1st Amendment dumb ass.

Besides, I thought the 'debate' was about the ruling.... which is hardly an example of an 'activist' judge... unless one thinks that applying the federal law is 'activism'.

It is when a butthurt leftist doesn't get his way.

All over the place.

You're going to hire lots of attractive young Japanese ladies, aren't you?

Damnit, you're way ahead of me: That's exactly how I expect to receive government contracts that favor women and minority owned businesses.

Octopus milker? fool-hardy. Curing disease? hardly fool-hardy. See the difference?

 

[Nosmo King]

All over the place.

All using tech technology developed by federal money originally. All forty years too late. None have sent a human into orbit, let alone to the surface of the moon. And none have inspired national pride in a terrific accomplishment.

Obviously, you remain sadly ignorant of the health benefits of Octopus Milk.

Perhaps I need a $500,000 government grant to create a statistically revelant study...
