Been off the net for a few weeks so forgive me if I'm not back up to speed -

Blacks statements seem strange -

"Prosecutors simply seized the records, and quietly held on to them for six days before letting anyone know what they had done..." ??? I would think getting the search warreent would pretty well explain what they had done ...

Limbaugh only received word that his doctor had been served a search warrent from a radio host ??? Wouldn't it seem likely that the doctor's offices would have called Limbaugh when it happened ? That Dr Cruz himself would not have informed his patient of the seizure is the strangest part...

"but shouldn't Limbaugh's own doctors have had a chance to explain their own practice."

... another stange piece, why have the doctors themselves NOT given statements regarding the legality of what they have done - a Joint statement like " We the undersigned all were fully informed as to the ammount of drugs our patient was taking and have concluded that these were the appropriate amounts - Please leave him alone"
Why has this not happened ?

"After all that is why THEY are doctors and HE is a lawyer."

Yes, and so are all the judges ( 3 so far ) who concured that the seizure was legal.

You imply that it was the doctor's responsibility to notify Limbaugh that the cops had just seized a bunch of records.

Since when is it the target's responsibility to officially notify a second target.

Secondly, maybe the doctor's office was told not to say anything.

Thirdly, the prosecutor's actions in seizing the records implied either that Limbaugh did something wrong by asking for medications, or that the doctors did something wrong by giving him medications that had already been prescribed.

Ask yourself, how would Prosecutor Kirshner know whether or not the latter were true unless he gave those doctors a chance to explain why they prescribed these medications in the first place.

I'm sure it's no surprise to you that many medications have dual purposes.

Fourthly, you suggest the doctors make "joint" public statements asking the prosecutors lay off Limbaugh. Why in the world would a doctor thrust themselves into the public spotlight and put themselves in the crosshairs of this out of control prosecutor by giving a PUBLIC statement, like you suggested.

Not only would that be illegally breaking doctor patient confidentially, but no responsible doctor is gonna give a statement to the TV and newspapers like that.

Doctors don't argue their disgnosis cases, especially about a private patient, without the consent of the patient.

Furthermore, ask yourself. Is it Limbaugh's fault or the doctor's fault that he was given medications for which he had already been prescribed.

Bottom line. This investigation is a fishing expedition and a sham. Anyone who can't see that is simply hankering to see Limbaugh go down.
