Do you really believe that Rush should be jailed, when no one on the face of the earth has been prosecuted under similar circumstances? Yeah, that's fair.

We don't know the circumstances of this case as yet. The main goal of Rush and his legal team seem to be to make sure we don't know them.

If it turns out he has broken the law, let him suffer the same penalities you or I would. This "playing the victim" is the liberals game, and should be beneath principled conservatives.

That in a nutshell seems to be what's going on. Oh, and remember, that's after the promise of full co-operation with any investigation.

Rush Limbaugh knew exactly what he was doing. His addiction could ruin him. I am sure he faced the fact daily that anyone could find out and ruin him. He had the money to continue his pill popping. He may have even had to have a drug screen before that enormous EIB contract was signed. He went through the motions of quicky rehab and it failed. He knew that political enemies would love finding out about his problems. He took a chance. He knew the rules. Now he is in a corner. I do think he is being singled out by the people he finds most repulsive. Liberal Democrat lawyers that may have worked with Janet Reno...........Yikes.

They may have no case at all. They will make him spend a fortune on lawyers. They will put him under stress and hope he relapses. All addicts get the substance they abuse somewhere. It is not often that prosecutors spend time and resources chasing after this type of violator, unless it can be politically helpful. Rush knew it. I have one question. How did he play so much golf on that crap?

Sure, the law provides penalties for breaking the law.
But since you haven't been caught every time you went 5 mph over the speed limit, you assume that you are righteous.
When the Constitution forbids "unusual" punishment, that includes enforcing the law at all--if nobody else gets that law enforced against them in a similar way. It is a check on tyranny, and it must be upheld. Even if it helps a conservative--and thus does not make you feel vicariously righteous in accepting unusual treatment of one you suggest that you have affinity for as a fellow conservative.

And the goal of the prosecution is to let everyone know everything about the case and then some. Regardless of veracity.
