		<description>Also this re: back story - the hearing concerns both drugs and devices, and the Supreme Court has _already_ ruled upholding preemption for devices (Riegel case).  So it's not only in anticipation of Levine, which folks from device industry are represented.</description>

		<description>Hi Nathan and Marusa - You've both jumped to an inaccurate conclusion.  Here is the announcement from the Committee.
Panlists Maizel, Ruther, and Clark will almost certainly be pro-preemption.  Curfman's position is not without "nuance."  And frankly, I'm not sure where the Quaids fit (other than adding star power) into the issues at hand.

A witchhunt is planned for another occasion....Perhaps going after dentists who ask a lot of questions while your mouth is splinted up.....

		<description>It's not a surprise that anyone from Pharma isn't showing up.  All you have to do is read the news including WSJ to see why preemption is a farce.</description>

		<description>Let me get this strait: Congress is holding a hearing on preemption but is not hearing from anyone in support of preemption?  What kind of a hearing is that?  It sounds like more like a witch-hunt than a hearing...</description>
