Supremo Roulette

[Mr. Shaman]

June 23, 2011​

"The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that generic drug companies cannot be sued under state law over allegations that they failed to provide adequate label warnings about potential side effects.

By a 5-4 vote, the justices gave a victory to Israel's Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, Mylan Inc's UDL Laboratories and Iceland-based Actavis Inc by overturning U.S. appeals court rulings that allowed such lawsuits.

The companies argued that federal law barred such lawsuits because the drug had been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Federal law requires generic drugs to have the same labels as their brand name equivalents.

Justice Clarence Thomas in the court's majority opinion agreed. He said federal drug regulations applicable to generic drug manufacturers directly conflicted with and thus pre-empted state lawsuits.

The Supreme Court decided a related issue in 2009 when it ruled FDA drug regulations do not protect pharmaceutical companies from being sued under state law over drug labeling, a case involving Pfizer Inc's Wyeth unit and its antinausea drug Phenergan.

But in the generic drug cases, the justices reversed separate U.S. appeals court rulings that the lawsuits against the companies could go forward.

Liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan dissented."

Just because the lable of generic drugs does not carry side-effects on the bottle, does not mean that more than adequate information is not given by the Physician/PA and/or Pharmacy filling the prescription.

Five justices ruled in the majority on this case and who does the Crayon Boy choose to feature in his grade-school ridicule?

Racist fuckroast.

Racist fuckroast.

In the field of Engineering, there's every effort made, to idiot-proof every process/product. That way, everything is used/operated the same....each-and-every-time!!! Then....when it comes to trouble-shooting....we have a specific-set of "knowns".

The point is.....if there isn't a set of Warnings, attached....on each-and-every bottle/container (of medication)....things can easily FUCK-UP!!!!

Maybe it's a matter of.....people who can (only) afford Generics....don't really "count"; that brand-name buyers are more-entitled to Warning Labels.​

"Last week, Rep. Chris Murphy (D-CT) circulated a draft letter to his colleagues seeking an hearing on the many ethics scandals surrounding Justice Thomas and two of his conservative colleagues. The next day, he pointed out that Republicans won’t speak out against Thomas because “he’s doing their bidding on the Supreme Court today, and they don’t want to do anything that compromises his ability to enforce a political agenda in the United States judicial system.”
