• There are no elected officials left in Haiti

  As of today, Haiti does not have a single elected official. The 3 branches of power are dysfunctional. The International community (BINUH and The Core Group) is the main decision-maker. We are perhaps further away from democracy than we were in the early 90s.

• Testing Freedom - Discourse

  Judge Biunno had it right back in 1972 when he said that diagnostic tests produce “news.” Test results, therefore, are a type of speech that fall under the First Amendment right to freedom of speech. The Supreme Court has repeatedly rejected restrictions on freedom of speech based on “a fear that people would make bad decisions if given truthful information”; thus, FDA restrictions on tests based on such fears are unconstitutional. The question of whether consumers will respond “safely” to test results is no more relevant to the FDA’s regulatory authority than the question of whether readers will respond safely to political news published in The New York Times. The FDA does not have the constitutional authority to regulate news.
