20/ HURRAY! A BUNCH OF LEFT WING GOVERNMENT LAWYERS STOLE A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR FIRM FROM US CITIZENS AND HANDED IT OVER TO BE RUN BY BUREACRATS. Note that the firm will continue to exist, and will continue to make the same products. ...but now political appointees run it.

22/ "misleading" The government forces every drug mgr to include 900 page tomes (exaggerating a bit here) with every possible side effect ... all of the language vetted by the FDA. The gov is arguing "yes, we specified the language you used, but >>> https://twitter.com/DeanBradleySFF/status/1319252071112151041 …

24/ OK, so you're arguing for a Massachusetts style firearm registry, where only models known to the MA AG to be safe can be legally sold? Congrats. We've had exactly that since 1906. The FDA approved Oxy. https://twitter.com/DeanBradleySFF/status/1319253124931080193 …

25/ eh, "induced" If a friend buys a car model with twice as many HP as he really needs, and a crappy 5 year repair record, do we blame the salesman? https://twitter.com/DeanBradleySFF/status/1319253442976677893 …

30/ > violating the anti-kickback statute That law sounds like something that is definitely constitutional and within the powers of Congress, and totally not something that snuck in under "interstate commerce" https://twitter.com/DeanBradleySFF/status/1319254841047265280 …

31/ I have no problem if Colt Manufacturing wants to pay a gun dealer $100 for every AR-15 he sells. And, in fact, that's legal. The anti-kickback statute appears to be a small bandaid on top of a stupid self inflected wound >>>
