There is a clear conspiracy against him. That is why he is being accused of "doctor shopping".

"Doctor Shopping", if indeed a legal violation is something anyone in the country could be accused of, but they happen to be singling out him.

Do you really expect everyone to be stupid enough to believe that a prosecutor who regularly prosecutes doctor shopping as a crime has randomly chosen Rush Limbaugh to go after.

Wake up and smell the coffee. Democratic stronghold Palm Beach home of the voters too stupid to vote right, so they have to have election suits, now going after Limbaugh in a political witchhunt.

You may want to get up to speed - "doctor-shopping" is simply the name given to

"To withhold information from a practitioner from whom the person seeks to obtain a controlled substance or a prescription for a controlled substance that the person making the request has received a controlled substance or a prescription for a controlled substance of like therapeutic use from another practitioner within the previous 30 days.

It is easy. Follow the money. Look at how much the Palm Beach Prosecutor's office is spending.

Look at the leaks to the press that are flowing from the top out.

Doctor shopping is used against dealers. The dealers accumulate the pills for resale. Doctor shoping is not an end user crime.

Correction, Doctor shoping is prosecuted as a dealer crime. Despite the ability, Doctor shopping is not prosecuted as a user crime.

""""Title XLVI

I am looking for the history notes on the details of this laws adoption. They describe the history of the legilative intent. They are handy in finding unintended consequences.
