Sounds like some of those CALIFORNIA three strikes cases.

20 years? wtf? Maybe probation is warranted, the drug is prescription for christs sake, its not even totally illegal. 20 years? What a load of crap. They give people like this 20 years and let rapists and child molesters out way sooner than that.

Dude, rapists? You're comparing apples to oranges. The rape victims provoke the rapists by existing. The jail time for rapists is just to protect them from women for a short period until they recover. This on the other hand is a case where a guy sold substances he knew would cause psychological harm by giving his customers too much satisfaction. This guy deserves to burn in Hell.

Rush is not going to serve a day in prison. At worst, he'll go to some rehab facility (which he has probably already done on the advice of counsel).

Just another example of the disparity in our system.

Shouldn't be much difference .. he kept the dealers in business by purchasing their drugs illegally.

That wasn't the question asked. The question was how many years should Rush get on the same scale?

Indiana proves that you don't have to be southern to be redneck. Gotta spend those Federal Red State subsidies somehow, though... Wouldn't want 'em spent on any sohshulist crap.

I don't even know what way CO went in the election, but thanks for proving idiots come from every state. I happen to be from Indiana. Of course, you'd probably call me a redneck because I know how to fix my own car and have seen a farm before. :roll:

Purchasing or attempting to purchase federally controlled substances under false pretenses is a felony offense.

So? What does that have to do with this sentence? This was the question asked. I have no love for Rush (never even listened to him before), but based on this criterion alone, it's clear that there is a legal difference between the two.

20yrs?

Reguardless of the drug, people MURDER people and don't get 20years.

That's bullsh!t

You think THIS sentence is bad. What about the person in Missouri (I believe) who was convicted of possession of a pound of marijuana. The sentence: Life without chance of parole. And the sentence was upheld by the US Supreme court.

I am not making this up.

The prosecutor and the judges are pieces of scum. The Indiana taxpayers will spend $1M to keep this guy in jail too over two pills.

Here's an update in the case of a hypocrite junkie who illegally procured thousands of prescription narcotic pain killers.

Compare these two cases.

Justice isn't blind. She just closes her eyes for the right price.

Prosecutor argues seizure of Rush Limbaugh's medical records fair

By Jill Barton
Associated Press

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.''

Martz added that the 4th District Court of Appeal's ruling, which said Limbaugh's privacy rights were not violated when the records were seized in 2003, should be upheld.

``Privacy rights cannot operate as an impenetrable shield to conceal, camouflage, or secrete evidence of criminal wrongdoing,'' Martz wrote.

Limbaugh and his attorney, Roy Black, had no comment on Monday.

The court battle over Limbaugh's medical records has crippled the criminal investigation into his drug use for more than a year. Investigators seized the records after learning that Limbaugh received about 2,000 painkillers, prescribed by four doctors in six months, at a pharmacy near his Palm Beach mansion. They contend that Limbaugh engaged in ``doctor shopping,'' or illegally deceived multiple doctors to receive overlapping prescriptions.

Limbaugh has maintained his innocence throughout the investigation and argues that the case threatens the privacy rights of all Floridians _ a point which has drawn the support of the American Civil Liberties Union. Limbaugh has acknowledged he became addicted to pain medication, blaming it on severe back pain. In October 2003, he took a five-week leave from his afternoon radio show to enter a rehabilitation program. __
