"Now, good law or bad, good man or bad, if he broke the law, he needs to pay the price, irrespective of other motivations on the part of the prosecutors. To insist on less would be hypocritical.

What planet do you come from??

What about littering?? Driving while using a cell phone or without a seat belt?

Protection from abuse statutes?? Code violations? Business license infractions??

In reality, law enforcement ignores lawbreakers every day, depending on the prosecutor's own particular take on what should and shouldn't be enforced.

Some prosecutors are against the death penalty, and therefore will not bring a capital case to court. Some prosecutors are big anti drug enforcers - and usually people know whose those particular prosecutors are.

If this thing with Rush is what it sounds, this is the biggest bogus waste of time going, and this coming from someone who is sort of anti-illegal drugs.

I personally think seat belt laws are stupid, un-Constitutional and a waste of taxpayer money. Doesn't make me any less guilty - or susceptible to the penalty - when I don't wear one. And it would be hypocritical of me to chew someone out for not wearing his seat belt when I don't wear one myself.

So you think illegally obtaining drugs,  a crime in Florida known as doctor shopping,
is no different than littering?  I think the WOD is a travesty.  Are you anti-WOD or just a partisan making excuses for one of 'ours'?
