Farrall's appeal was based on a ruling in the case of radio commentator Rush Limbaugh, who maintains prosecutors violated his privacy rights when they seized his medical records in a drug abuse investigation. Although the appeals court upheld the Farrall case, the same court on Wednesday sent the Limbaugh case to the state Supreme Court for review.

Defense attorney Bruce Udolf said Thursday he was evaluating the court's decision, in light of the court's action in the Limbaugh case.

Did Rush kill anyone? Did he hurt anyone but himself? Was he protected by the FBI, or gone after by a Florida Democrat DA?

Putting drug users in jail is probably is misuse of our law enforcement resources, but that's the War on Drugs for you.

If you have doubts, look at what's happening with the state medical marijuana laws. The federal government claims that the "commerce clause" allows the federales to prosecute people for planting weeds in their gardens and/or smoking the weeds.

On the other hand, killing two people while driving drunk is a serious offense. Ninety days was a light sentence.

I'm surprised this FBI agent even bothered to appeal the verdict. I suspect the union is paying his legal bills.
