But it's a wonderful precedent that he is setting for "the rest of us"..because he CAN!
Thank God for Rush!
He's one of the good guys!

IIRC, they, the prosecutor, gave immunity to the maid [and hubby] that was both helping supply Limbaugh, as well
as shaking him down, for testimony about the alleged drug use.

Then the couple sold the story to the National Enquirer.

Also, from what I remember, the prosecutor's wife is friends with Err America's Randi Rhodes. Rhodes was pushing for
the investigation when she was just a local radio screamer down in Palm Beach, or there abouts.

This is nothing more than the continued efforts by Clinton-type Democrats to silence their perceived enemies. Free Republic even got a taste of it.

They are after Rush for his influence and the same is true of DeLay, Frist, Cheney and Bush. they are after them all.

The Dems have nothing to offer so they have to paint the opposition as demonic and corrupt.

Millions of dollars are being spent to see if Limbaugh committed a misdemeanor.

No, actually the geniuses in Tallahassee wrote the law in such a logical fashion that if Limbaugh had forged a doctors name and received the prescriptions fraudulently it would be a misdemeanor, but if he got legitimate prescriptions from more than one doctor, he would be guilty of a felony.

These boys are real smart.

It's been a couple of years, though, and they don't have anything. It's just another politically motivated prosecution by the Dems. This time it's also intended to punish Limbaugh for exercising his freedom of speech.

What's amazing to me is that the judge agrees. At this point, I'd be telling the prosecutor that I'd given him enough rope already, and he'd better do something with it.

The contempt on the part of the prosecutors is apparent.

Now investigate Assistant State Attorney James Martz. What wrongdoing on his part, whether legal, ethical or professional, might be discovered if his actions, during every minute of every hour of every day in this whole process, are carefully and vigorously scrutinized?

we need the names of the prosecuters and judge....

I'm sure that they've gone to the doctor and have some kinda of "thing" that would be interesting to find out and released to the public... since we have a "right to know"...

In fact I'm sure that the prosecuter and judges have lots of little things in their past that need to be released.... since they are public officials and it's our "right to know".....

this is gonna be too easy.

It really is...I would hope that Rush is vengeful enough to take this to the destruction of the prosecuter Martz's reputation as a prosecutor and indeed a lawyer. I would love to hear the only job Mr. Martz could get would be a Wal-Mart greeter. God! I hate this sob...and I don't even know what he looks like.

I know that the team of Roy Black and Rush has more brain power than the whole Florida "justice department"....

If any "prosecutors" from Fla happen to be lurking here:

Give it up. Save yourselves before it's too late. Go get another job while you can..for if you lunitics push this any further, you are all likely to be sorry. Just take note: the only attorney that Rush has now is Roy Black....there are a lot of others out there and Rush can afford them all.

Hmmmmm... So the prosecutor could be made a fool by passing a law to make it a misdemeanor, like the forgery statute?

this is not and investigation, this is a "criminal audit"

They IGNORE the doctor's 5th amendment rights.

If I was the doctor's lawyer NO WAY would I let my client speak to that unethical prosecutor. (I would want to see the end of the Bar investigation first)

This prosecutor is a perjury trap in the first degree.

Imagine if it were the average person in Limbaugh's shoes



They wouldn't go after the average person - it's because who he is - a conservative that knows what the liberals are going to do before they do it - he exposes them big time and I love it.

Thank you, Rush!!

we started with the "probable cause" standard

we moved to the "reasonable suspicion" standard

and now thanks to the unethical state attorneys in palm beach we have the "wishful thinking" standard.

Why don't we check your bank records, Mr. Martz, just to see if you've paid your taxes, eh ?

Meanwhile, Limbaugh's attorneys wanted the judge to hold prosecutors in contempt for allegedly giving information to the news media, the Palm Beach Post reported.

I can't imagine that is legal. Why doesn't he sue them personally?

And reporters want one too. It seems the more people covered, the weaker the protections are.

If we can just talk to the doctors, I think we can beat the information we need out of them.

HOw long is this thing going to linger. It has been going for more than 2 years now. Has every other crime in that area been taken care of that they have nothing else to do but obsess with Rush?
