At last, euthanasia...
Today the Supreme Court finally came down on the side of euthanasia, upholding a federal court of appeals that, some months ago, put the Fourth Amendment out of its misery in a loving and supportive way.
The lower court held that the ACLU cannot challenge the Bush administration's secret warrantless domestic spying program because -- ta da -- the ACLU can't prove it was being spied upon.
