Blagojevich’s press release stated:

Illinois joins New Jersey, California and Connecticut in providing funding for stem cell research.

What did NJ, CA, and CN do that IL didn’t? They went through the legislative process, which Blagojevich impeded. Is that ok with you liberals? As long as you get your way, damn the elected representatives of the people, damn the people?
Blagojevich’s press release also stated:

“Since the federal government has chosen to stall the medical advancements that will come with stem cell research, it is up to the states to take action,” said Gov. Blagojevich. “We cannot allow our citizens to suffer when relief may be available.”

“The federal government’s inaction presented two options for Illinois,” said Hynes. “We could either refuse to acknowledge the inevitability and worth of scientific progress, or we could embrace and find a means to harness it for the betterment of our citizens. We could be timid and reactionary, or bold and visionary. We chose to be bold.”

Blagojevich is blaming the federal government for IL’s “inaction” on embryonic stem cell experimentation/human cloning? He says “it is up to the states”? Isn’t IL’s legislature controlled by Democrats?
Rather, Blagojevich thwarted our state’s political process in a tyrannical move. Of all people who should be insulted, it should be Democrat legislators who have been deceived and insulted by Blagojevich’s power play.
