If you think they're pushing this case in order to discourage "doctor shopping" or drug use in general you really have your head in the sand.

Did I say that? Of course I didn't. On this we agree, its more political than anything. But gee, what do you say when Rush gave them the rope to hang him and his friends Levin, et al, helped tie one end to the tree?

You said this:

The prosecutor might argue convicting Rush will do more to stop the practice than convicting 100 no names.

That sounds to me like you are making the case that the prosecuter is handling this case differently than all other cases of the same nature in order to discourage others from "doctor shopping" or whatever it is they intend to charge him with.

Are you saying that Rush made a mistake by voluntarily going to re-hab?
