Mass Senate does something right
In an ambitious move to help save lives, create jobs, and lower bureaucracy the Massachusetts Senate approved a bill to speed stem cell research. With just two dissenting votes the Senate made a push that is a direct challenge to the Governors avowed position against this bill. What the bill does is remove the hurdle of going through a district attorney to get approval to work with stem cells. Why it is that lawyers who are also often politicians are supposed to know better than doctors and medical researchers is beyond me. No doubt Romney who has launched a radio campaign against the bill will veto it, and probably wallow in the sewer he is known to dwell in where he'll pitch the usual litany of far right mouth noises "baby killer" and all the rest. Yawn.
