The federal supreme court has heard arguments on whether someone can be restored to competency in order to stand trial. However, they may not make a decision because the matter is a pretrial matter and might not be ripe.
As an aside, a guard once explained to me how the drug regimen works. They go into the cell and offer the pills. The patient accepts or refuses. If he accepts all is happy in the world and he continues his path toward sanity. If he refuses he is forcefully given a liquid drug similar to the original but with one extra quality: it induces nausea for the rest of the day (and he continues his path toward sanity). As one guard put it to me: "They may be crazy but they're not stupid. The second or third day they start taking the pills."
