Go find another case of "doctor shopping" being prosecuted, especially one in which the patient has already admitted addiction and sought treatment. Or hey, try to find out if ANYONE has EVER been prosecuted for doctor shopping in Palm Beach.

He hold a gun to her head? She committed "illegal acts" of her own free will.

The witch hunt, quite simply, is that the court is permitting law enforcement to raid Rush's records to look for evidence that he may have doctor shopped for drugs. If they had evidence that he had committed that crime and it could be proven that the records were material in the matter, that might be different.

Basically, this opens the door to unreasonable search and siezure without probable cause. It is a VERY DANGEROUS precident. If Rush had his maid commit illegal acts for him, why do they need his medical records in a "witch hunt" doctor shopping. There is a disconnect here, and this disconnect tramples on our right to privacy!

The same place the witchhunt was when Bill Clinton was committing perjury, suborning perjury, etc....

A crime is a crime and not a witchhunt. (So you won't complain if the maid goes to prison for bribery?) However, medical records are always kept private, or so I thought. DNA is not private, but everything else is. If Rush is an exception to that rule because of his politics, then it's a witchhunt.

Were prosecutors allowed to see Bill Clinton's medical records?

Getting addicted to prescription painkillers is more common than lying about sex. If Rush committed a crime then he will pay -- more than Bill Clinton paid for far more serious crimes. But he should not face an unfair judicial procress, nor should he be treated as though these were illegal drugs. He became addicted through no fault of his own. It is EASY to get addicted to these drugs. What he did from that point on might bring sad but just consequences. Still, the hypocrisy of Democrats is astounding.

Yea, and whom do they go after? Not the seller, but the user or the buyer. Anyone can look at this and see this whole affair is not right.

Can you name one time that the police went after the buyer of drugs and let the seller off. This is what makes it a witchhunt.
