"The Agriculture Department argued widespread testing could lead to a false positive that would harm the meat industry. Robertson said he was concerned by that possibility but noted Creekstone sought to use the same test the government relies on."
Didn't the USDA do just that? (announced false positives before they were confirmed) :lol:
"Tests are done on brain tissue from cows, so animals must be killed before they can be tested. Because of this, Robertson rejected the government's stance that it has the authority to regulate the tests because they are used in the treatment of disease."
"Sound Science" that the Judge could see right through! :lol:
"He said regulation of the tests might be appropriate through the Federal Trade Commission or the Commerce Department but the authority does not exist."
This will be more degradation of confidence in the USDA should they appeal the decision. It would be a Public Relations nightmare.
