Beaty v. FDA Appealed

No surprise, the FDA has appealed US District Court Judge Richard Leon's ruling on Beaty et al. v. Food and Drug Administration et al., No. 11-cv-289. Nebraska refused to obey the order and urged the FDA to appeal. See Nebraska's Thiopental for Lethal Injection for some links and details.

Oklahoma's Attorney General was joined by the Nebraska AG and thirteen others in a letter to US AG Eric Holder, requesting an appeal of the case so that they can enforce capital punishment in their various states.
