"Does it worry you in the least that the prosecutors didn't have even one provable fact of Rush breaking the law before they decided they needed to see Rush's med records?"

This is Rushs' spin and version on things. Apparently they did have enough evidence before cracking open a medical record to state this. I do believe they contended this prior to getting the ok to open the records. Furthermore I do not believe it was the prosecution who lobbed out the original 3 accusations this was the media. The prosecution is NOW speaking and has found probable cause to prosecute.

"violating Rush's right to privacy in the process"

Can you point to me where in the Constitution where there is a "right to privacy" clause?

Face it Rush has been caught red handed. If found guilty this man is a utter hypocrit.

It's a state case, so here it is from the Florida constitution: SECTION 23. Right of privacy.--Every natural person has the right to be let alone and free from governmental intrusion into his private life except as otherwise provided herein. This section shall not be construed to limit the public's right of access to public records and meetings as provided by law.

You ARE godawful dense, aren't you, to not read the post you are responding, nor google up the law he was referring to?

"This is Rushs' spin and version on things. Apparently they did have enough evidence before cracking open a medical record to state this."

Well now you are making no sense at all.

The first 3 things they accused Rush of are far more attractive to a prosecutor than "doctor shopping". This would be like the prosecution having proof of bank robbery, and vehicular homicide on some guy, then deciding they need to see if he has any parking tickets to put him away.

And using the word "apparently" in your response means you aren't too sure about the legal angle the prosecution is executing.

Well, he is an utter hypocrite but hyprocisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue. Rush is not a conservative as much as he is a shill for the Republican party. Nevertheless, he has introduced to millions many of the essentials of a general conservative ideology - it is just too bad he lived his life in such opposition to so many of those conservative principles.

L He is divorced and remarried (2 or 3 times) he doesn't go to Church, he doesn't believe homosexual acts are sinful, he avoided the draft when it was his time to serve, he repeatedly told his listeners he was being hoinest when he was lying his ass off ect ect.

His legal dificulties are all his own doing and are a severe form of "payback" from the liberal county he chose to establish residence in. He personalised all his political battles with liberals and mocked and slammed his political enemies and so it is scandalous he retorts to the girlish and jejune "victimhood" appeal for sympathy when it is his turn to face the music from the liberal authorities in power in the liberal county he choose to live in.

He only went public when he was worried about being some bad boy's boyfriend in prison. His "repentance" and "admission of addiction" doesn't convince me of sincerity. It was done at the end of a barrel of a political and legal gun. I find his entire "admission of addiction" has the same ring of veracity as Clinton's "admisssion" of guilt everytime he was confronted with the truth.

And, Rush ought be subjected to the same crimes as others - you know, all the same other multimillionaires able to hire Roy Black to defend themselves against possession/use of crack-for-the-wealthy (oxycontin). IN other words, he walks.

He is the OJ of the Right. Not that being a Doper is the same as murder. Just that this isn't a nation of laws. Proof? Multimillionaire Celebrities like OJ and Rush don't go to jail. We poor folks do.
