WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration yesterday brought the emotionally charged issue of physician-assisted suicide to the Supreme Court, seeking permission to block a first-in-the-nation Oregon law that permits doctors to help terminally ill patients end their lives. O'Connor, who is retiring, may not take part in the decision IF her replacement is confirmed before the court votes on the case. Earlier this week, President Bush named his White House counsel, Harriet E. Miers, to fill her seat.
