Limbaugh loses appeal in court
Ruling backs seizure of talk show host's medical records
Wednesday, October 6, 2004 Posted: 12:20 PM EDT (1620 GMT)

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (CNN) -- The state acted correctly when it seized Rush Limbaugh's medical records, Florida's 4th District Court of Appeal announced in a written opinion issued Wednesday.

The seizure did not affect the popular talk-show host's right to privacy, the court said Tuesday in its 13-page ruling.

Roy Black, Limbaugh's attorney, had argued that his client's privacy rights were violated when the state attorney's office used a search warrant to seize the records, which gave Limbaugh no opportunity to challenge the seizure.

James Martz, assistant state attorney, had argued that giving notice, or using a subpoena, would have compromised the investigation into whether Limbaugh was obtaining prescription painkillers illegally.

1. Did Daryn have a breakdown

and have to leave the set?

I just have no sympathy for that pathetic egomaniac excuse of a human being and hope they put that mf away for a very long time.

2. No appeals, just turn over the records

Courts are to be complied with, not disobeyed.

4. I guess his hypocracy will only go so far

too bad he does not have the integrity or courage to own up to his acts and take responsibility for them like an adult.

6. says " Limbaugh's lawyers can petition for a rehearing." ANY FL Lawyers?

And Florida DU attorneys out there? How likely is it that they would win a petition for rehearing? Wouldn't they have to present additional (new) evidence showing cause?

8. So what is the next step?

Will he get to go to jail before or after the election?

I can't wait to see his butt in jail.

I am sure that all the Brothers from the hood will be so happy to welcome him to his cell. Since he has been a major contributor to the crooked deals to keep them in jail and out of the voting process,they will be happy to see old Rush.

and I am glad that others have noticed that it is gone.

12. Is it just me ...

... or is something really good happening suddenly? Is the Good Karma Fairy sprinkling something on America?

Rush wants privacy? Hey, so does the rest of America! However, criminals do get investigated, sorry. Especially the worst one's: Those horrible, devious drug addicts! Worse than murderers and rapists, I tell ya'!

Well, a big thank you to the Universe. It seems that something just pulled FLUSH on the overflowing toilet bowl of the Right. You can see all the crap starting to swirl down into the sewer where it belongs.

Where is my plunger? I just want to be sure there are no clogs as it makes its way to its "rightful" resting place ;)
