So a conservative judge with absolutely zero knowledge of medicine, psychology or pharmacology makes a ruling overriding a decision by the agency that approved this medicine over 20 years ago on the flimsiest of pretexts. Absolute garbage of a ruling. Remember whenever your Uncle Frank rants about legislating from the bench, he’s talking about this.
Even worse, this is opening the door for judges to overrule all sorts of federal regulatory bodies by fiat. Chevron deference is dead and gone.
It gets even worse than that. This judge hears all cases filed in Amarillo Texas. All of them. So conservative groups rent office space in that town so they have standing, then file their lawsuit knowing that he’s going to get the case.This judge is one of many in districts like this around the country, but especially in Texas.
cons target these single judge districts, file federal lawsuits, and get their preferred ruling.
