I am assuming that you know that there are exceptions in the fourth amendment that give law enforcement powers to get records? There is absolutely no reason, under ANY circumstances, that law enforcement ought to have access to ANYONE's medical records without a warrant. Period, end of story. If you can't see that then you are so hopeless enthralled by Obama you'd let him get away with anything. You damned sure wouldn't have supported GWB doing it. I don't know the specific Oregon cases...do you? Are you so sure that the case is cut and dry as you make it or are you being motivated by your hatred for obama? I know enough to know that DEA having warrantless access to prescription records way, way off the rails. This is a prime example of unintended consequences of governments over-regulation -- in this case, Oregon's good intentions went wrong, when the federal agents decided they could have unfettered access to the database. Is the case "cut and dry? That's another question -- the courts have watered down various amendments, particularly the 4th, time and again in this "drug war" gone awry. Obama could stop this with a phone call.
