        Shoulda kept my yapper shut. Got a few things going on but will try to squeeze in a bit of catch-up reading and a quick post. Dropping ricin from the list is a really strange "error".

        What about all those medicinal/toxic plants that we have growing in our gardens? Foxglove, angel trumpets, devil trumpets, monk’s hood?

        U.S. District Court Judge Richard Story agreed with the man’s legal team that changes to federal law in 2004 and regulatory edits in 2005 inexplicably excluded ricin from the criminal charge of possession of illegal biological toxins known as “select agents.”

        Reading the article, it appears the judge is saying the particular law cited does not define what “select agents and toxins” are, which is hard to understand but whatev. It looks more like the prosecutor chose the wrong statue to press charges.

        White supremacist gets free pass. Maybe next time the sob will poison himself and the ER will tell him "you don't need treatment, it's not a biological agent".

        It is, and that makes it a biological weapon under International Law, but not apparently Federal Law.
