A second case the court will hear later this year tests the reach of federal power to block a state policy social conservatives oppose: physician-assisted suicide. To stymie Oregon's voter-approved Death With Dignity Act, the Bush administration warned that doctors who prescribe drugs to terminally ill patients seeking to end their lives might face prosecution under the federal Controlled Substances Act. The Ninth Circuit in San Francisco ruled that would overstep federal authority, prompting the Bush administration's appeal to the Supreme Court. In a dissent this past term, Justice O'Connor backed the rights of states to allow the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes, and her logic there parallels Oregon's position in the assisted-suicide case.
