Busholini will veto a stem cell research bill even if a solid majority of congress votes for it. Why doesn't this issue deserve a straight up or down vote? Why must Busholini be an obstructionist?

President veto are just like Senate filibusters.

Just give stem cells an up or down vote!

4. Maybe we'll get a recess veto.
A pre-emptive veto would be in line with smirky's other moves. :eyes:

5. Now, now, stem cells are not people. They don't deserve anything.
And besides, all those frozen embryos deserve to remain frozen, or thrown out as waste, rather than be used for science or medicine.

Hey, if they want to use stem cells for medical therapy, they should have to pay big money -- to the stem cells.

7. But the fundies BELIEVE STEM CELLS ARE PEOPLE!
That's their excuse for prohibiting research on them. It's a right wing Catch 22.
