Don't judge Rush in how he compares to California Cartels or someone who kills a prosecutor.

Sorry to offend your sensibilities, but I am making a statement about the relative seriousness of his offenses versus the laws the prosecutors, (and by extension, you and astrocloud) are using to justify the investigation. Even if Rush was distributing the drugs he collected, can you point to a single case where medical records were seized in a similar investigation? I'm not saying that it absolutely hasn't happened, just that I have never heard of it and this investigation SEEMS to be going beyond the bounds of most investigations. I have no interest in defending Rush Limbaugh and it won't bother me one bit if all the anti-Rush people are right and he's a menace to society. What bothers me is the fact that his opponents are willing to comprise the principles they claim to hold so dear (mandatory minimums being bad, drug users being treated rather than punished, etc) to silence an opposing voice.
As I've stated before on the Rush subject, I would take the points of the anti-Rush liberals much more seriously if they consistently applied the morals they claim to represent. I apply this standard to all who espouse political/social beliefs, it just so happens that in this case it's coming from the left.
**edit** Not being critical, just a clarification, Cali doesn't = California, it's an infamous drug cartel that operates internationally.
