Senators warned safety risks and opposition from the White House and GOP leaders could block passage as pharma groups oppose imports. The Bush administration called it dangerous amid concerns about unapproved drugs entering the United States.

California Supreme Court lets recall vote proceed for Davis
The California Supreme Court declined to halt Gov. Gray Davis recall ballots amid a high‑stakes political scramble. Opponents gathered enough signatures to trigger a special election, with Oct. 7 slated as the date. Rival hopefuls include Darrell Issa, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Richard Riordan, Bill Simon, and Jack Kemp, while Democrats rally behind Davis. The recall ballot will first decide if Davis stays, then select a replacement from listed candidates.

Three Roman Catholic nuns Hudson Gilbert and Platte were sentenced by US District Judge Robert Blackburn to at least 24 years for obstructing national defense and damaging government property after vandalizing a Minuteman III silo in October. They received 2 years 9 months, 2 years, and 3 years 5 months respectively. The nuns, active since the 1960s, faced opposition from prosecutors who praised punishment while defense sought leniency.
