[Republican Wildcat]

There is typically no prosecution for people who become addicted. Normally they are ordered into a treatment program (which Limbaugh did without such an order). This editorial is weak. They just say he's 'wrong' without making the opposing case.

The stated policy of the 15th Circuit is to use the Court system to induce first timers into court supervised treatment. It is not to invest tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of desperaltly needed court dollars. It will be interesting to eventually see the court costs of a typical user case with what they really spent to "go after" Rush above and beyond what the efficiently prosecuted user case.

Do other user cases get money spent on special investigators? Have the financial crimes unit conduct audits? Have the first ever in the states history pre-emptive subpoena without hearing for medical records? Never even attempt a controlled purchase sting? (something reaaaly unusual) Continue investigating long after the apparent ability to have an arrest?
