Wisconsin the Latest State to Help Residents Flout the Law
No, I'm not talking about so-called gay marriage, but rather, the importation of prescription drugs from Canada, in violation of federal law and sound policy.

The state has set up an official web site that provides links to Canadian pharmacies from which residents can purchase drugs at cheaper prices, thanks to Canadian price controls. Governor Doyle is not impressed at the fact that his government is thereby encouraging lawbreaking (as well as short-sighted policy).

"There are currently thousands of people who buy drugs on the Internet. The federal government has said they are not going after these people.”

"Justice Louis D. Brandeis'?s metaphor of the states as "laboratories" for policy experiments ... had almost nothing to do with federalism and everything to do with his commitment to scientific socialism. .... To this day, it continues to inhibit a truly experimental, federalist politics." -- Michael S. Greve
