Justice Lamberth
Last summer I informed you that Justice Lamberth ruled Obama’s embryonic stem cell policy illegal, arguing that it violated the Dickey-Wicker amendment which prohibits the use of federal funds for destructive embryo research. Lamberth slapped a preliminary injunction on the policy, suspending all use of federal money for embryonic stem cell research. Shortly after, an appeals court lifted the injunction while they were considering the appeal against Lamberth’s decision. On April 29, the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington finally ruled against Lamberth’s interpretation of the Dickey-Wicker amendment, 2-1. President Obama’s policy stands.
