Supreme Court Denies Maryland Appeal Of Drug Price-Gouging Law

The law approved in 2017 enabled the state's attorney general to sue makers of off-patent or generic drugs for price increases that state officials considered "unconscionable." That was defined as an excessive increase, unjustified by the cost of producing or distributing the drugs.
The Richmond-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 last year that the law was unconstitutional, because it forces manufactures and wholesalers to act in accordance with Maryland law outside of the state and burdened interstate commerce.
So delighted to read this! This AG hasn't seen a lawsuit he doesn't like yet and wastes millions in taxpayer funds. And yet, blue MD re-elects him every time!

I don't believe politicians are so inept. It is on purpose, they scream for votes and then write BS laws that are incapable of enforcing their words.
