Bush Vetoes Stem Cell Research Bill
MSNBC reports that, as promised, President George Bush has just vetoed the bipartisan stem cell research bill.
Pushing back against the Democratic-led Congress, Bush plans to veto a bill Wednesday that would have eased restraints on federally funded embryonic stem cell research, White House spokesman Tony Fratto said. In his veto threat, the president accused Democrats of recycling an old measure that he already vetoed and argued that the bill would mean American taxpayers would — for the first time — be compelled to support the deliberate destruction of human embryos.
The bill passed with significant Republican support. Does Bush have anything to say about them? I am sure the Beltway Pundits will be decrying this Bush rejection of bipartisanship. Riiiight. I won't hold my breath.
