Terrorism is a crime. Doctor shopping is a crime. The illegal purchase of 30,000 schedule C narcotics is a crime.

The existence of greater crimes does not render a lesser crime not a crime.

[Lucky Dog]

Terrorism is a crime.

Agreed, but has this statement to do with illegal seizure of private medical records?

Doctor shopping is a crime.

Agreed, but why were records seized illegally? To get a subpoena, the Constitution mandates certain conditions:

Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

The illegal purchase of 30,000 schedule C narcotics is a crime.

Given that this act is, indeed, a crime and all of the time and money the prosecutor has expended to date, why have there been no charges against Limbaugh? The logical answer would be that it appears that the prosecutor is incompetent or that there are no real grounds for any charges.

If the prosecutor is incompetent, then he should be summarily dismissed by the press and his constituency. If there are no grounds for the charges, the prosecutor should be summarially dismissed by the press and his constituency and prosecuted, himself, for abuse of office.

Then there's no evidence Rush is guilty of any of your charges...otherwise he'd be charged, lord knows they've tried...

When did you find time to count all those pills?

"Terrorism is a crime. Doctor shopping is a crime. The illegal purchase of 30,000 schedule C narcotics is a crime."

Good point. And, I'm sure that Rush would have been charged by now if he had committed any of these crimes. He's obvious, then, that he's innocent.

Maybe I missed it...but when was Rush charged with these "crimes?"

[holdonnow]

Maybe the government should seize your medical records, publish the drugs you've been prescribed -- and the various ailments you've had -- and all under the general claim of doctor-shopping. You're not supposed to seize someone's records in search of a crime. Have you ever heard of probable cause?

Doctor shopping is a crime. The illegal purchase of 30,000 schedule C narcotics is a crime.

By using the term "illegal" before you know the facts, aren't you (and the prosecutor) putting the cart before the horse.

After all, the prosecutor in this case didn't even interview or depose Limbaugh's doctors to see the logic behind why they prescribed these medications in the first place. Maybe they had their medical reasons.

At the very least, this prosecutor, having no such medical license, should not be barging into a doctors office to seize medical records without stating the precise MEDICAL reason as to why Limbaugh should NOT have been given these medications.

On the other hand, maybe you and this out of control prosecutor think Limbaugh should have simply rejected the doctor's mediction advise??

No, my friends. This whole prosecution is so far beyond the pale of normal jurisprudence that is is laughable.

Yet there are people out there who are bound and determined to prove that Limbaugh is nothing but a common criminal and therefor should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Hey wait a minute. I got an idea. If Kirchner is so bound and determined to stamp out this type of "crime," why doesn't he just raid all pharmacies in Palm Beach County and cross check ALL records of all patients. After all, I'm sure he could find some cases where people have received the same medications from more than one doctor.

Just think of all the time and money it would save the prosecutors office>

Also, creating false documents is a crime. Oh thats right, the DA is a RAT. Business as usual.

[gitmo]

The illegal purchase of 30,000 schedule C narcotics is a crime.

Yes. And the legal purchase of 30,000 schedule C narcotics is not a crime. What's your point?

[Minn]

Driving 56 in a 55 zone is a crime.

The existence of greater crimes does not render a lesser crime not a crime.

It does when your lifeblood flows from the teet of the accused.
