CT Bill Update: "Death with Dignity" pulled because of "clerical error"

The two clowns McDonald and Lawler behind the anti-Catholic CT Bill had also tried to sneak in a Euthanasia Bill (SB1138). Now they've yanked it, citing a "clerical error" (I'm sure).

From the blog of Connecticut Senator Michael McLachlan:

The assisted suicide bill from co-chairs Senator McDonald and Representative Lawlor, scheduled for a public hearing before the Judiciary Committee on March 20th, appears to be dead for this session. The reason for pulling SB1138 off the agenda is reported to be "clerical error."

I feel bad for the clerk and staff of the Judiciary Committee.

Last week the committee staff got hammered trying to process thousands of emails and phone calls from outraged Catholics and First Amendment rights advocates when their bosses - the co-chairs - began a frontal assault on the Catholic Church. This week the co-chairs decided to take on the right-to-life advocates and the calls and emails started flowing into the Capitol again.

Can someone in the Connecticut Democratic Party tell Senator McDonald and Representative Lawlor that we have a budget crisis and we need to focus on balancing the budget - not waste tremendous state resources on personal vendettas?

If they don't get the message from their party, I hope they get it from the voters of Connecticut.

update: An AmP reader clarifies: "Dropped" is a little strong - it's still in the hopper, but they've decided not to hold a hearing on it until next year's session.
