Biotech Values

You guys are getting too caught up in the trees to see the forest. "Pre-emption" is a red herring. Even a right-wing court will not save the drug companies on this one, but they will try (And the right-wing court wiil abandon its always phony ideological justification for right-wing causes--"states' rights"-- in order to support business interests, when necessary.

The point here is: Someone got injured. Someone has to pay. Who pays? Simple as that. Someone HAS to pay, because the State won't. In California--and I assume, in most other jurisdictions--the courts have to find the "deep pockets." That's the drug companies. (You can't sue the FDA--LOL)

If the Dems win, they'll legislate pre-emption away, if they have to. Are the States writing "friends of the court" briefs against pre-emption? Because you'd better believe that the States don't want to assume any of the burden of the costs of these injured parties.
