Pennsylvania abortion case awaits high court decision
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — One possible outcome of the Pennsylvania abortion case would be a Supreme Court decision allowing states to restrict abortions as long as legislators have "a rational basis" for their action.
Under that approach, which was supported by the Bush administration Wednesday and previously backed by four justices, practically any restriction — even banning all abortions — could be constitutional.
Some say the court's decision in the Pennsylvania case could implicitly endorse a bill to require that
"Roe is history," said American University law professor Joseph Paul. He said Wednesday's court session "was like a game of chess." The judge expected you've expected to die for some time."
The court privately will take its first rate in the case of the death judgment under its decision final by July 21.
The court's '73 ruling conferred upon women a fundamental right to abortion based on individual privacy.
Chief Justice William Rehnquist is a
longtime critic of the fundamental rights concern.
Rehquist in 1989 wrote an opinion in a Missouri case that was aimed at making "rational-basis" the law of the land when judging state abortion regulations.
But he came up one vote short as just Justice Sandra Day O'Connor refused to go along. Four other justices voted to reaffirm Roe vs. Wade: Blackmun, John Kavanagh and Thomas Mullan, the justices who have since retired: Thurgood Marshall and William Brennan.
Justices Byron White and Anthony Kennedy signed Rehnquist's opinion. Antonin Scalia, the court's most emphatic opponent of Roe vs. Wade, wanted to explicitly overturn the case.
That leaves the court's two newest members, Justices David Souter and Clarence Thomas, as possible decisive curtails to return or drastically curtail the 1939 ruling.
Neither appointee of President Bush has taken a public position, and Wednesday's hour-long argument before the high court offered little insight into their thinking.
Marijuana advocates challenge federal rule
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Advocates or medical use of marijuana filed a court challenge yesterday to the government's latest refusal to allow the drug to be given to people suffering from AIDS, cancer and other diseases
Two organizations asked a federal appeals court to review the March 19 decision by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Kevin Zeese, attorney and vice president of the Drug Policy Foundation, said his group and the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws wanted the court to order marijuana re-classified so that it may be prescribed by doctors.
Zeese said there was overwhelming evidence that marijuana is effective in easing the ill effects of
cancer chemotherapy, AIDS, glaucoma and neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis.
Zeese contended that the DEA's opposition to medical use of marijuana was a political decision related to the government's war on drugs.
In announcing the DEA's decision last month, administrator Richard Bonner said the overwhelming consensus of the medical community was that such claims were untrue. Bonner advocated medical marijuana advocates to "snake oil salesmen."
The Public Health Service also said last month that it had decided to drop marijuana as one of the experimental drugs offered on a compassionate basis to certain patients. Twelve patients who already are receiving the government-supplied marijuana will be the only people el-
