“This is a great victory for the people of Oregon who decided not once, but twice, that people should have the right to make personal end-of-life decisions without federal interference.  The Attorney General’s continued efforts to make criminals out of doctors who help in these sensitive situations is one more signal that he is out of step with Oregonians.
