Your freedom just took a MAJOR hit!
We are only as free, as they let us be!
These guys give a much different spin than Newsmax, which made it sound as if most of the records can not be used against Rush. And isn't there some kind of statute of limitations for how long you have to bring charges in a case like this?
"These guys give a much different spin than Newsmax"
Yeah, I noticed that too.

>>>And isn't there some kind of statute of limitations for how long you have to bring charges in a case like this?
I would imagine there is, but I would also assume that the statute would also prevent the potential criminal from using the slow deliberation of the court system to litigate their way out of this or any other charge.
Perhaps I may be stupid. Oxycontin IS a legal drug correct? Rush PAID for said drugs correct? Rush got addicted and completed a rehab on his own dime right? Why is this a crime???
Because the duly elected legislature of the State of Florida made it a crime. There are social reasons for it, too.
Why do you oppose the Florida legislature's ability to create law?
It's a "crime" because he is a conservative talk show host. Do you really think this would be an issue if it were Al Frankin?
>>>Oxycontin IS a legal drug correct?
It is legal, but its use is restricted.
In the United States of America, the Controlled Substances Act defines Schedule II drugs as having:
high potential for abuse
some (but often marginal) recognized medical use
high incidence of physical or psychological dependence
These are available only by prescription, and distribution is carefully controlled and monitored by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The prescriptions themselves are also subject to special requirements of codified federal law or administrative regulations:
Prescriptions cannot be given over the phone; they must be given during a patient's actual visit to a physician. (A special procedure is provided for dispensing small quantities in medical emergencies, with its own set of reporting requirements consistent with the normal Schedule II process.)
Computer-printed prescriptions cannot be used for Schedule II medications. Prescriptions must either be handwritten or typed, and must be signed by the physician.
Prescriptions must be presented for filling within 72 hours of issuance. If a prescription is filled by mail, as many health insurance plans now encourage or require, the envelope must be postmarked within the allowed time.
Prescriptions for Schedule II medications cannot be refilled
Thanks for the info. Nice to know the Federal government cares so much about our welfare. Next thing you know abortions will be illegal right? Riiiiiiight.
I don't understand why Rush doeasn't pack up and leave that rotten place. Most judges in Floriduh are commies.
I have given up on fighting government laws, no matter how silly they are. I chose instead to follow the ones I deem important and ignore the rest. I am much happier now. ;-)
No state income tax.
I cannot determine whether your position is conservative or not because it is incoherent. I have determined that you don't approve of the Florida legislature's ability to create law. You also don't seem to approve of Federal regulations, either.
What did you think of Lawrence v Texas? Did you disapprove of the Texas legislature from making a law outlawing homosexual conduct? Did you disapprove of the SCOTUS from striking down that law? Given the principles you've shown on this thread, you would have disapproved of both, at that is incoherent.
Well he should move to Texas then. No state income tax here either.
Waterfront home, no state income tax, government can't seize your home in a bankruptcy, tropical paradise, etc. He's got the money and the balls to fight this and if he loses, he has the nationwide voice to bury the people that are after him. Should be fun to watch.
Maybe I should move to Texas.Would you guys welcome a guy from New Jersey?
Why do you oppose the Florida legislature's ability to create law?
Dennis Kucinich, a duly elected Democrat congressthing representing the people of the State of Ohio, introduced a bill (H.R. 2977) to ban mind control weapons in outer space.
At one time, the duly elected Democrats in the legislature of the State of Florida must have thought that buying and selling human beings was an appropriate thing to do, because they passed laws allowing it.
I oppose the duly elected Florida legislature doing this for much the same reasons.
Because it's A.) dumb and B.) ineffective.
The Maha has been talking about the Supremes for the past few days now. His case should end up there. Could he be possibly trying to influence the makeup of the court by chatting about it with the rest of the country on his radio show? (Holy smokes - this could be hugh...)
