Greedy Trial Lawyer
Do We Have A Unitary Executive Or A Unitary Banana?
Category: Gaming The System
President Bush (exercising his authority as our Unitary Banana?) will essentially grant drug companies immunity from state court lawsuits with a simple announcement. In the latest chapter in Government By Decree the FDA will say the mystical words. Maybe someone should announce an Impeachment.
Drug Injury Watch posts on the next purification of our society coming from the temple of the Dali Bush:
According to a January 14, 2006 article in The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the FDA "is preparing to declare that federally approved medication labels pre-empt state law". Essentially, these legal claim preemption provisions would serve to protect pharmaceutical companies from personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits involving their prescription drugs. As pointed out by WSJ staff reporter Anna Wilde Mathews, this new new policy barring state liability claims "would mesh with the White House's focus on tort reform."
