Olbermann never mentioned that Rush didn't ask the ACLU for any help. On the other hand, Rush is correct that there is no constitutionally guaranteed right to privacy, so his medical records, within that context, should be fair game.

The ACLU only took this high profile case to keep their name in the headlines, and very doubtful if it was Joe Blow who needed help.

Florida Constitution:
SECTION 23. Right of privacy.--Every natural person has the right to be let alone and free from governmental intrusion into the person's 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.
Ya know Rush is in favor of States Rights, even more so probably now...
