It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry in an address at St. John’s Church, Richmond, Virginia, on March 23, 1775.

I'm hoping if you rethought that you'd change it to prosecutor knowingly suppress(es) or withhold(s) evidence that proves the defendant is innocent.If I were king for a month, I'd have legit red light districts including drug clinics where you could affordably buy and use any drug you want, however when you check in, you may not leave while still under the influence of any drugs. If you never leave, that is fine too.
I would have legalized prostitution in controlled and safe settings, where the girls are subject to regular checkups and customers must also prove they are disease and drug free. 10% state tax would apply.
And then you went over the top
Attorneys would also be subject to prosecution if they knowingly suppress or withhold evidence that proves their client is guilty or the defendant is innocent.
It is incumbent upon the State to be above reproach.

My wife is a pharmacist for CVS. She confirmed that some specific doses aren’t available so they just sub in a different quantity. Example: nobody can get Predisone 20mg, so they just fill 10mg tablets.
I can ask her some questions if you all have any.

And business is very much a conservative sacred cow.

"But just as we feel ourselves your allies here, there
also exists another alliance — at first glance a strange
one, a surprising one— but if you think about it, in
fact, one which is well-grounded and easy to under-
4
stand: this is the alliance between our Communist
leaders and your capitalists.
This alliance is not new. The very famous Armand
Hammer, who is flourishing here today, laid the basis
for this when he made the first exploratory trip into
Russia, still in Lenin's time, in the very first years of
the Revolution. He was extremely successful in this
intelligence mission and since that time for all these
50 years, we observe continuous and steady support
by the businessmen of the West of the Soviet Commu-
nist leaders.
Their clumsy and awkward economy, which could
never overcome its own difTiculties by itself, is contin-
ually getting material and technological assistance.
The major construction projects in the initial five-
year plan were built exclusively with American tech-
nology and materials. Even Stalin recognized that two-
thirds of what was needed Vv-as obtained from the
West. And if today the Soviet Union has powerful
military and police forces — in a country which is by
contemporary standards poor- — they arc used to crush
our movement for freedom in the Soviet Union — and
we have western capital to thank for this also.
Let me remind you of a recent incident which some
of you may have seen in the newspapers, although
others might have missed it: Certain of your business-
men, on their own initiative, established an exhibition
of criminological technolosv in Moscow. This was the
most recent and elaborate technology, which here, in
your country, is used to catch criminals, to bug them,
to spy on them, to photograph them, to tail them, to
identify criminals, This was taken to Moscow to an
exhibition in order that the Soviet KGB agents could
study it, as if not understanding what sort of criminals,
who would be hunted by the KGB,
The Soviet government was extremely interested in
this technology, and decided to purchase it. And your
businessmen were quite willing to sell it. Only when a
few sober voices here raised an uproar against it was
this deal blocked. Only for this reason it didn't take
place. But you have to realize how clever the KGB
is. This technology didn't have to stay twx^ or three
weeks in a Soviet building under Soviet guard. Two
or three nights were enough for the KGB there to look
through it and copy it. And if today, persons are being
hunted down by the best and most advanced tech-
nology, for this, I can also thank your western capi-
talists. "

Uhm, that is capitalism.
Don’t confuse capitalism with free markets. It’s like when people conflate individual rights and democracy. Democracy and capitalism can end up being complete crap shows. Rights and markets are the freedom and the engine of good outcomes.
Capitalism, at its core, just means that those with resources decide how those resources are used. People often read in free markets into that and that is the best form of capitalism but you can definitely have non-free markets and capitalism.
As to business being “conservative” the 1990s saw the Democrats and their progressive wing realize that being poor and complaining about the rich was not as good as co-opting business and government, especially together, to make their money and to form the government and businesses into what they want in a social context.
The left-wing of the country has perfected the concept of regulatory capture.
The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.

If that was in reference to my business is a conservative sacred cow, mine is in reference to a tendency of conservatives to defend actions of any given business mogul short of making a run for political office on the Democratic ticket.

Where my wife worked in a hospital setting it was Saline. The most common fricken medical supply imaginable. They were constantly having to scrounge around to find it and it always came in huge bulk quantities they would have to break down for IV's and other uses. There were others too but Saline caused the most trouble it seemed because it was used in so many things....On some of the other stuff I know they would do "drug swaps" with other hospitals, trading things they had in quantity to other facilities who had what they needed for their patients.
That is not the sign of a properly functioning, First World, healthcare system- and it's not going to get better.

Yes, some certain politicians thought it would be a good idea for Puerto Rico to have the business of packaging most quantities 0.9% Normal Saline solutions less than 1L. Many other drugs are diluted in hospital pharmacies into 0.9% NS.
When the hurricane hit, the only places packaging it in smaller volumes were out of commission. Which is fine in the surface, but pharmacies had to take over that role. That wasn’t planned for and we ended up in a national shortage of 1L bags as well as a result. Many hospitals order their supplies a year or more out based on historical demand and it is delivered JIT. Hospital pharmacies were then left double-concentrating drugs that could be, as well as substituting LR for drugs that could be so that 0.9% NS could be conserved. It is important to note, 0.9% NS is the only solution which blood products can be administered with.
This national shortage lasted around four months before alternative sources were secured. Let this be a lesson to politicians that altering markets is a bad idea, especially when “putting all your eggs in one basket”.
That said, drug shortages, as mentioned above are not a new phenomenon. It isn’t typically the drug itself in shortage, but in the dosage often prescribed.
The pharmaceutical industry is fairly complicated and requires many inputs; any interruption in many of the inputs or forecasting errors can result in supply issues.

I don't think it's over the top. Right to end ones life should be the most important right.
What if you did something horrible, that you just can't live with because it could never be undone and wasn't done intentionally. Should that person really have to carry that burden until their natural death? What if you have some horrible disease and there is no cure and only 6 months of painful suffering until death ahead of them? Should they really have to go through that natural process, should their family have to actually watch them suffer through it? If they want out, we should give them some dignity and respect their decision.
As for the lawyers, yeah both sides really. If you know your client is guilty because you have the evidence, it should have to be presented. Now obviously the defense attorney will try and negotiate a fair outcome for his client, but I don't want child molesters and serial killers being set free because evidence existed but the defense attorney ignored it. But mostly I'm concerned with prosecutors who ignore or suppress evidence to get a conviction.
I think both lawyers should actually work together to discover the truth and arrive at a consensus.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
