It's funny that you use the word "known". Rush Limbaugh is a "known" junkie. Just as the cops have a justified reason for conducting drug sweeps. The cops have a justified reason for sweeping through Rush Limbaugh's palaces and looking into his misconduct. Part of Rush Limbaugh's misconduct involves possession of over 2,000 pills simply from doctor swapping. But you know the charges just won’t stick without some evidence… So what should the police do? They are investigating a crime after all… Here I’ll say it
If the police have the right to investigate known criminal activity then the police have the right to search his medical records.

So what are you suggesting? Come out with it please. It seems like you’re saying that there’s a conspiracy to ‘get’ Rush Limbaugh… Well are you? The police really aren’t doing anything abnormal. They are securing their case before a judge. Otherwise the charges wouldn’t stick and ole’ Rush walks.

After all, I don't believe he has a criminal record and would have probably gotten court ordered drug treatment and maybe probation. He has already done the treatment on his own so the judge will probably only have him evaluated at this point and maybe he'll get probation. In the mean time they are spending a hell of a lot of time for a relatively minor conviction with little to no prospect for punishment.

Now wouldn’t it be sad if he got caught using again? Junkies have a tendency to return to their former habits. If taking pills was as easy as going to a few doctors and Rush got his literal slap on the wrist –Do you think he’ll really quit? Maybe he’d just cut back a little –after all his medical records ARE private –what would stop him from doing the whole thing over again?
