I wonder if he'll ever go to court.
quote:
February 14, 2005, 4:00 PM EST
WEST PALM BEACH -- The prosecutor investigating whether Rush Limbaugh illegally purchased prescription painkillers told the Florida Supreme Court on Monday that investigators should be allowed to review the conservative radio commentator's medical records.
Assistant State Attorney James Martz was responding to arguments Limbaugh and his attorneys made asking that the records remain sealed. Martz said Limbaugh's argument that he should have been notified before the records were seized by investigators is equivalent to saying ``that law enforcement is never to be trusted.''
``Then search warrants should never be issued and law enforcement should never be permitted to investigate criminal activity for fear that they will abuse the power granted,'' Martz wrote in a brief filed with the Florida Supreme Court. ``Such reasoning would eviscerate law enforcement's ability to protect the public and enforce the law.''
While I would love to see the lying bastard's ass hanging out in the wind, I'm glad to see the legal system working.
On the other hand, those who can't afford Roy Black would have been in the can a year ago.

I'm afraid you're probably right; especally as the gov's family has druggies if their own to protect.

| It doesn't even matter who is guv, Limbaugh has rich man's justice. Even if convicted there would be no jail time I guarantee you. At least not for this kind of crime anyway. But then again, to be fair, you don't go to jail for hypocrisy and I don't think addicts belong there either. |
