He apparently IS above the law. He didn't do any prison time for his involvement in the drugs ring some years ago.
Nor does anyone who goes through drug rehab. Some do this several times without prosecution. Rush was nearly run through even though he went to rehab right away.
You obviously know nothing about Florida Law.
The first time offender court is SOP for anyone actually caught illegally obtaining perscriptions. (something the authorities have utterly failed to do in any legally sufficient manner other than through a "sandwich" indictment based on an extortionist represented by a friend of bill lawyer)
In this situation you had a state attorney violating ethics rules (per FL bar complaint) and playing games to try and treat this person DIFFERENTLY than all the others who have gone through the treatment system and had they case utterly dropped.
As it stands now, the ONLY thing the prosecutor would gain from an attempt to remove Rush from the program is a reinstatment of the program for Rush OR an actual trial where the prosecutors conduct and his witnesses can be put on trial.
Keep in mind MANY democrat officials have gone through the same system. This "detention" is just sour grapes on the part of West Palm Beach. These elected officials should remember Rush has deep campaign contribution pockets and a large listening audience.
