Because, in this case, the Government agency and the laws they enforce are unconstitutional, and actually harm the people they're supposed to be protecting.

- thelambentonion 13y agoCare to explain how the FDA is harming the people it should protect? It seems to me that they're simply trying to get 23AndMe to accurately market their product. Since 23AndMe is making claims of a medical nature, it falls neatly under the jurisdiction of the FDA as granted by Congress.
- duncan_bayne 13y agoCare to explain where in the Constitution the Federal Government is granted the power to regulate medicine? I think you'll find that that power is reserved for the states. With respect to harm, take a look at how many people are killed by delays in drug availability caused by the approval process. Nothing the FDA does that is legitimate couldn't be better handled through the courts at a state level. And you wouldn't have to ignore the Constitution in the process.
