(Reuters) - A federal judge has ordered a hearing on Tucson shooting rampage suspect Jared Loughner's petition to stop prison officials from forcibly medicating him with anti-pyschotic drugs. U.S. District judge Larry Burns set the hearing for 2 p.m. on June 29 at the U.S. District Court in San Diego, California. Loughner, being held at a federal prisoners' hospital in Missouri, is not expected to attend, a spokesman for the prosecution said.

Loughner was declared mentally incompetent last month to stand trial on charges he killed six people and wounded 13 others, including Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords

Bu, bu, but, it wasn't his fault, he was driven to it by Sarah Palin and other right-wing'gers!/major sarcasm

Any bets this guy will spend the rest of his life at a mental "hospital", at our expense?!

Keep him medicated and remind him who made him do this. LOL! He’ll be taken off medication and then an interview before the election and he will repeat what he was taught.
Can’t let a crisis go - they will milk it if they can.

This is not a new situation, IIRC. A case similar to this, where the madman’s lawyer was attempting to keep his client “unfit for trial” by defending his refusal of medications which would have such an effect, went up to the USSC, which said yes the defendant could be medicated against his will for the purpose of making him “fit for trial.” There was some consternation about this on FR at the time, I believe. The alleged legal dodge might be a new twist, but it seems to me unnecessary.

And you will hear Loughner say that he heard Sarah Palin’s dog whistle command.

Yes, I listen to a station that used to be associated with Air America Radio. The term “right wing dog whistle politics” is one of the standard snarky terms.

You surely missed Procon’s sarcasm.

He, like I and millions of others, want to see that lump of sub-humanity given a one-way ticket across the river Syx.

Send the boy to “rehab”. The general public loves people who go to “rehab”.
