There's no question that he broke the law. But look at it in context. Just because I used to speed and admit I used to speed doesn't mean the police should investigate me for it and tap my phone lines to try and get evidence that I sped. This is nothing more than a fishing expedition.

Your position violates just about every conservative principle there is. "There's no question that he broke the law. But....."

Those who blindly defend Rush's illegal use of prescription drugs should just switch their party registration to Democrat right now, since that is the party where there is no "right" and "wrong," only moral relativism. Instead of, "It's only about sex," the Rushbots are saying, "It's only about drugs." Very sad.

There is no law that allows a person to be audited to determine which criminal laws may have been violated. You have to actually be caught violating a law and then discovery is conducted in relation to that law. I have never, and no collegue has ever heard of a user's medical records being subpoenaed by the prosecutor's office.

I have provided medical records to show that all pills found on the person DURING AN ARREST were actually legally obtained. This shoots down an existing case. Never does a prosecutor go to the effort of themselves finding out how a user obtained the perscription drugs on their person. This case, if it was real should have been dumped in drug court, the only reasons it has not are: 1-there is not case or 2-they are going to keep fishing and fishing until they can find the teeeeeeeny tinnnnny-ist detail that they can charge rush out of drug court.

This is not an existing case, this is PREFILING!

It could very well be that these doctors are going to be pressured to flip on rush or have their own problems for other matters.

Dr Jimmy, during the Prohibition many a good Republican drank every day of distilled spirits. And many still do in "dry counties".

There is no "MORAL" relativism here. Drug use is not a moral issue. Alchohol use is NOT a moral issue.

Drunkeness is a moral issue. We identify levels of use and abuse of behaviour modifying consumables, or at least when we as a nation were more sane about it then we seem to be today,

With regards alchohol, we have learnt for hundreds of generations that that state called "drunkeness" is nearly always prone to such dangers and injuries that it is nearly always immoral to be found in that state.

Let's look at another "drug" -- caffiene. Do you know, we all do, I suspect that more then 12 cups or so a day causes toxic effects? Intoxication, that is. Yet coffee is not illegal. Yet to be over-caffenated in public can be as dangerous as being drunk.

While obedience to the Law is a moral course, that obedience is NOT without judgement, without refinement. There are many LAWS that are immoral, most of that class of immoral laws are rarely imnplemented, yet some are.

"NO NEGROES" was once legal, yet it was always immoral.

Please do not take blind absolute lawfullness as morality. It is NOT.
