[quote=Anonymous][quote][b]A single judge cannot make a ruling on medicine. [/b]The story focuses on abortion, but the bigger picture here is that a single state is trying to make a ruling on medication that undermines FDA authority. The power to approve drugs is solely granted to the FDA and is part of the Code of Federal Regulations. It is the law of the land. If this is ever successful, it'd mean pharmaceutical companies in the future will try to bypass FDA authority and try to lobby each individual state in order to sell their new drugs that might not even work or be safe. It's be an unprecedented disaster for patient safety, healthcare costs and the way medicine works in this country. The drug is FDA approved, therefore the maker has a right to sell it in any state. FDA power has been built on 100 years of case law. I doubt this goes anywhere, otherwise it sets up the country for disasters in the future.[/quote]

Can this judge be disbarred or impeached based on this case? He is clearly incompetent.
