Since no one has claimed to have looked through these records except the judge, how did you come up with this "clear violation" ?

Obviously you didn't read the point of this story. Try reading the first sentence again:

Circuit Judge Thomas Barkdull III ruled Tuesday that he will not restrict the number of investigators who will see the released portions of Rush Limbaugh's medical records.

That means anyone the prosecution's office lables "an investigator" can see Rush's private medical records, which is likely in direct violation of HIPAA (FEDREAL) LAW.

"That means anyone the prosecution's office lables "an investigator" can see Rush's private medical records, which is likely in direct violation of HIPAA (FEDREAL) LAW."


Nice slide from "clear violation" to "likely violation" but nevertheless,


Keep going .... please explain how the "minimum necessary" has ( will be ? ) violated, since the judge rightly thinks he is not qualified to decide the issue.

Black is going to file a Federal suit over what they MIGHT do now ? ( not that his tactics of delay-stall-delay might not fit here )

Black was pretty foolish in trying to pick which investigators could look at the records - he has to know that they would need experts to look over and testify to the details.
