if they did arrest him... that would suck, because that would mean the government would be allowed to trump patient/doc priviledge to go on a hunting expedition.

not to say that rush is innocent. i dont know if he is or not. but there was a huge fight over this because the DA went to court to get his medical records because it was the only way they could determine whether or not he did anything wrong.

[Taggart]

Confirmed, just reported on Fox News Channel.

 

[MidasKnight]

Black said his client and authorities reached a settlement on a single count charge of doctor shopping filed Friday by the State Attorney will be dismissed in 18 months.

I have been waiting for this guy to get his comeuppance, though it appears the charges will eventually be dismissed :thumbsdown:

If they got a court order, what's the problem ?

Yes, because everyone with a drug problem should be locked up.

Christ. :roll:

Nope, only self-serving assholes like this, who always rave that anyone with a drug problem should be locked up...

""Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be
convicted and they ought to be sent up."
-- Rush Limbaugh. October 5, 1995 show transcript.

"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use, too many whites are getting away with drug sales, too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too."
-- Rush Limbaugh. October 5, 1995 show transcript.

"It's kind of like sentencing. A lot of people say that we have a heavy sentence for this crime and a light sentence for another crime, and what we ought to do is reduce the heavy sentence so it's more in line with the other. Wrong. In most cases we ought to increase the light sentence and make it compatible with the heavy sentence, and be serious about punishment because we are becoming too tolerant as a society, folks, especially of crime, in too many parts of the country."
-- Rush Limbaugh. October 5, 1995 show transcript.

Oxycontin...AKA hillbilly heroin...

Limbaugh turned himself in to authorities on a warrant issued by the state attorney's office, said agency spokeswoman Teri Barbera.

The conservative radio commentator came into the jail at about 4 p.m. with his attorney Roy Black and was released an hour later on $3,000 bail, Barbera said.

The warrant was for fraud to conceal information to obtain prescription, Barbera said.

the problem is because there was supposed to be patient/doctor privacy rights. if the courts can just dimiss them on a whim, they are not protected.

in this particular case... well, let me preface by saying that i dont know if rush was innocent or guilty but from reading the gype, i would say there was no smoke without fire. but in this case, there was no open proof or evidence of him doing anything wrong. the DA said that they could not say if there was or was not anything to charge him with, without first getting ahold of his medical records... which are supposed to be protected by the doc/patient privacy laws.

"the first charge in the nearly 3-year-old case"


They reached a settlement for a single charge. More will be pending I'm sure.
