I always thought this was bad law even before Rush was charged. Someone who becomes addicted to drugs due to pain management should not be prosecuted, but should be hospitalized.

In addition, the "War on Drugs" has made it a living hell for doctors to manage pain in this country.

Whether the law is good or bad, selectively applying the law on someone because of his politics is wrong.

Oh I agree it's no crime to be an addict, and I'm glad Rush has received treatment. And I have a problem with a lot of the drug laws. Some of the allegations, however, involved bribery, blackmail, threats and/or extortion. Those are other issues entirely, and IF Rush is guilty of any of those, he should pay the penalty.

Correct. The WoD has been mishandled and misapplied from the start, look at the seizure laws and the ridiculous zero tolerance debacles.

The prosecuter in this case is carrying the DNC's chamberpot for them,He knows, they know it and we know it.
