For practical purposes, the most important point in today?s order ? and the one that should be the lead in tomorrow?s newspapers ? is Lamberth?s surprising statement that his injunction does not prohibit the NIH from continuing to fund embryonic stem cell research that was permitted by the Bush Administration under its restrictive rules." Text of order in Sherley v. Sebelius | More information from Religion Clause.
