Yesterday a federal judge placed an injunction on President Obama's new stem cell policy. Thoughts?

President Obama expanded stem cell research in 2009 with an executive order. Private money was still needed to actually obtain the embryonic stem cells, but federal money could be used to conduct research, as long as certain other rules were followed. Yesterday, as a result of a lawsuit filed by Nightlight Christian Adoptions, the judge issued the injunction. He wrote, “If one step or ‘piece of research’ of an stem cell research project results in the destruction of an embryo, the entire project is precluded from receiving federal funding.” One of the problems is that this order might make all stem cell research illegal, even under the limited Bush administration regulations.

What does everyone think? Do you agree with the judge? Should the Christian adoption group even have standing to sue?
