Just when you thought it was settled, a new proposed resolution ramps up with aims to undo the recently passed constitutional amendment to protect embryonic stem cell research.Sen. Matt Bartle (R-Lee's Summit) and Rep. Jim Lembke (R-St. Louis) toured the state Tuesday to announce a proposal that would strip language from Amendment 2 and replace it with "a genuine ban on human cloning."
You can watch my KY3 News @ 10 report on the plan HERE.
If this resolution is passed by the state House and Senate, it would be put to the voters on the November 2008 ballot for final approval.
Springfield Rep. Bob Dixon (#140th), Rep. Charlie Denison (#135th) and Rep.-elect Shane Schoeller (#139th) also attended the press conference at the Springfield-Branson airport, but did not comment on the plan.
More to come on my Q & A with Bartle & Lembke . . .

I hope the question was asked, "How arrogant is it to question the will of Missouri voters? Isn't this resolution and the language you are using telling voters, 'You were ignorant and didn't no better'. We do."
If you thought voters were duped by Amendment 2, why not offer clarifying language for the salaries for public officials amendment? Weren't voters duped by that as well?
It's the acme of arrogance for lawmakers to turn back the will of the people. In 1999, voters said no to concealed weapons. It took a few years, but lawmakers managed to overturn the people's will on that issue too.
Brad you are so right! Hey do you remember when Springfield voters rejected a new city golf course twice and they still figured a way to do it?
