ahead begin books efforts encourage laws oregon ought pass people ruling similar states surprised
This ruling will encourage other people in other states who may have been contemplating similar assisted-suicide laws to go ahead and get them on the books ? and as long as those other laws are similar to the Oregon law they ought to pass the constitutional test. And I wouldn't be surprised if these efforts begin immediately.
add begging dedicated die exactly jury lawyers life martyr perhaps says spare telling wants
First he says he wants to die a martyr and now he is begging the jury to spare his life and telling the panel that his dedicated lawyers are out to get him. It doesn't add up and perhaps that's exactly what he has in mind.
anyone decide eventually five good grand interest jury lawyers legal matter plain subject target time today witness
Each time you go before a grand jury as a target or a subject or a person of interest ? or anyone else other than a plain old witness ? you put yourself in legal jeopardy. And now Rove will have done that five times. So today is not a good day for him no matter what his lawyers eventually decide to say about it.
access against case chance complete court custody environment gains gets jail lawyers loses measure military prepare presumably round somewhere wins
So this is a case where Padilla loses the round in court but actually gains some measure of freedom. Padilla wins by losing. He gets out of military custody now and presumably into an environment in some jail somewhere where he will have more complete access to his lawyers and a better chance not just to see the allegations against him but to prepare his own defense.

The unanimous ruling tells me that there wasn't a lot of patience or sympathy by the court for the argument by the law schools. And I would think that this finally ends the long-running legal debate on this issue.
action almost certain certainly clear close congress court decide exceptions issue law limit procedure unless whether
The court almost had to take up this issue again. It was clear in 2003 when it said that you could not limit this procedure unless certain exceptions were in place. Congress then enacted a law without those restrictions and now the court will have to decide whether the justification for the Congressional action is constitutional or not. It should be a very close case, almost certainly a five-four ruling.
