TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- The Florida Supreme Court says it won't consider an appeal from conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh. Today's four-to-three order didn't explain the court's reasoning.
Limbaugh's attorney argues that an appeals court misconstrued Florida law when it ruled prosecutors could review the records.
Prosecutors seized Limbaugh's medical records in 2003 for an investigation into whether he illegally purchased prescription painkillers.
Limbaugh hasn't been charged with any crime. He lost at the appellate court level and wanted the Florida Supreme Court to overturn a ruling that would open his medical records and possibly allow prosecutors to build a case against him.
Limbaugh has maintained his innocence throughout the investigation and argues that the case threatens the privacy rights of all Floridians.

Big Smile.
You should say Damn Liberal Yankees.
Rush ought to move out of the utterly corrupt state of Florida. He has the money. Why does he stay there?
Lots of people who get addicted have money; lots of money. Why does that make Rush more guilty??
Defending Clinton's coke habit?
Yeah, your name is sincere.
YANKEES, DAMN LIBERAL YANKEES! DAMN THEM ALL! LET GOD SORT 'EM OUT!........
More evidence that the Floriduh judicial system is corrupt.
Seesh! Don't forget the cheese to go with that whine.

No income tax, decent weather year round, many fine golf courses, frequent direct flights to NYC for work
I think you're missing his point. The immunity or resistance to antibiotics isnt with the people actually taking the meds--its rather that the bacteria have already gained resistance/immunity elsewhere before infection. Many of the more common antibiotics wont work at all on the resistant bacteria when people actually do get infected with the resistant strain. Its pretty much known that resistance to many ABs has been gained from overprescrips i.e people taking them when not needed etc.

Yep, the courts are now in the business of legislating from the bench AND poltical payback. It's worse than pathetic.
"Oh, I see what you mean. But he could move to South Carolina - many of the same benifits with out the corruption of the courts."
Vegas Baby ! What happens here, stays here !

True, but when you make as much as Rush, that first one (no state income tax) can be very persuasive.
"100 years ago, your chances of dying from any given illness was much greater than today; things aren't all that bad...."
I know they are not, but I fear they will be if we keep going on w/all this scare stuff. Point is, until 5 years ago I did not hear people hacking on and on for years on end. Sounds like we're regressing in a way. I'm sure the people who survived influenza, typhoid, whooping, etc, often suffered these types of everlasting symptoms the rest of their days. Today is starting to sound too much like yesterday.
And you're correct, I know next to nothing about all the medical stuff, despite my uncle & aunt being good learning doctor & nurse.
But sometimes experts can't see the forest for the trees. Common sense. People are coughing continuously now. I've noticed this problem alot in so many ventures, not just this little medical thing.
And I never said anything about making antibiotics OTC. I said it shouldn't be so hard - disruptive - as to insist people see a doctor for everything, and it has to be a specific doctor who is allowed to even do it (I guess that's another great reason for all this HMO/PPO crap - easier to find out which doctor has "permission").
it is a leftist catch 22. They may have cracked the wall of abortion "privacy" in order to get rush. (burn village in order to save it)
Yes, that's a good point - it's the bacteria not the people's cells. Stupid for me to forget that.
As for "over-prescribe" - so should we not prescribe at all, let them get a bit sicker, then let them fester in permanent nagging debilitating symptoms?
What do you do? Heck, do you even know that what the person has is "resistant" until you try? If you don't do anti-bio's, what else do you do?
It would come from a more conservative of the 67 counties. it would be an action against the abortion clinic itself. The courts have used "medical privacy" in order to deny access to any and all abortion clinic records. No that is no longer an obstacle.
Medical privacy was the reason the parental notification law was overturned and then the citizens passed a parental notification amendment. now that amendment is far more likely to survive any challenges. It also means the legislature can incorporation information access to the medical abortion records in greater disclosure than previously considered.
The most ludicrous thing is that HIPAA (the Medicare inspired privacy law) prevents physicians' staff from discussing overpaid "unassigned" claims with Medicare staff.
Even though "unassigned" claims are filed by the physicians' staff they are not allowed to discuss them with Medicare staff.
The world is upside down.
