Statement of U.S. Senator Ron Wyden on Department of Justice challenge
to Oregon's physician-assisted suicide law
November 9, 2004
"I am extremely disappointed that Attorney General Ashcroft
has chosen to continue ignoring the will of the voters of Oregon.
The people of our state have spoken twice on the matter, and so
have the Federal courts. I certainly plan to look into how many
taxpayer dollars Mr. Ashcroft has wasted in his attempt to disenfranchise
Oregon voters."
