This is actually a good sign. This is evidence that they have NOTHING on him.
BTW, When are they going to go after Kate Moss?

That is so, if Limbaugh committed no crime, they will be able to take some inconsistency between what a doctor says about something the happened years ago, and turn it into a "false Statement", or perjury charge about a non-crime.

Am I imagining things, or does it begin to appear that todays judicial system is a tool against our liberty??
What to do, what to do??

The South Florida version of Ronnie Earle. The criminalization of Conservatism continues.

Wow. The medical records weren't enough?
Now they want to break doctor-patient confidentiality too?
I think we can now officially call this case a political vendetta.

"I have no idea if Mr. Limbaugh has completed the elements of any offense yet".
Well shouldn't they already know that someone has committed a crime before they ask to speak to someone's doctor?!!!

What a disgrace this whole thing is. If this goes through nobody is going to want to tell their doctors anything.

And shouldn't they have some evidence of probable cause before they subpoena medical records?

I thought so but obviously some out of control prosecutors with a mission think they should have access to anything at anytime.

""I have no idea if Mr. Limbaugh has completed the elements of any offense yet . . . unless we can ask several pertinent questions," Yes, a lack of evidence should not be allowed to deter our fishing expedition your honor. We can't make the case unless we are allowed to violate the doctor client privilege.

This is a mess - I wrote a thesis on the confidential relationships guaranteed by U. S. Law long ago (50's - in high school) - Priest and confessant; Attorney and client; Doctor and patient - these 3 are basic - now state laws and professional associations expand this to include CPA's, Realtors, Insurance Agents, etc. as "ethics" ... but the original 3 are - or were sacred - one on one confidentiality - ABSOLUTE - where the others are not - we are off course - the compass is broken.
Woe is us.

"I have no idea if Mr. Limbaugh has completed the elements of any offense yet . . . unless we can ask several pertinent questions," Martz told Circuit Judge David Crow.. Appears to me that Judge David Crow would throw Mr Martz out of his court along with all the charges and even hold Mr Martz in contempt. Dang..how brazen is it to admit to bald faced fishing expedition?
I think that the State of Florida has stepped in it big time. Roy Black is probably significantly smarter than Mr Martz, and Rush probably has more money than the state.

Imagine if it were the average person in Limbaugh's shoes- who would not have the $$ it takes to defend oneself against such crap.
