As far as the unjustness of the law - if there even is a violation (I know little about Florida drug laws and less about Rush's case), it would be hypocritical to pretend it doesn't apply because of who the defendent is; we would both, I think, insist on the same treatment for a Kennedy.
If it is bad law, any prosecutions will be overturned anyway. And if it is bad law, it can be repealed. If it is NOT bad law, than those guilty of violating it - and I emphasize I'm not saying Rush did violate any laws - should suffer the consequences.
The local radio station plays a short clip from Rush's return after his rehab stint, where he says - and I'm paraphrasing - that his behavior has nothing to do with what is right and what is wrong. Even if he is guilty, he says, of hypocrisy because of his past statements on drug abuse and abusers, it doesn't make what he said wrong.
He himself said it exactly right.
There are at least a million people in prison for crimes related in some way to use of prescription drugs or to tax evasion/money laundering.
Crimes such as "uttering" (false prescriptions), "structuring" (sub-$10 000 money transactions), "shopping" (multiple prescriptions for the same episode)are a reality.
If Rush did these things, which will allow his enemies to get him, he is a stupid fool.
The idea that the law is "only being enforced because of his politics" is false, and if you know any of the millions whose lives have been or are today being ruined because of these laws, I hope you would be ashamed.
