It's hard for me not to support Rush Limbaugh...
I tow the ACLU line on virtually everything...I hate the guy, but it's hard.

1. Yeah, the florida prosecutor is trying to release his private records.
This is against everything I believe in on about privacy of the individual. The ACLU is showing they can be non-partisan by standing up for this breach of personal rights. I doubt rushhead will appreciate them much for it though.

4. I didn't say he'd appreciate it...
I wish he would, but spreading his propaganda makes him too much money, which is apparently all the dumbfuck ares about.

I find it funny that conservatives assume that the ACLU is only for liberals. It does have a left-libertarian orientation, but it will help people who disagree with it its ideals if said ideals are being violated in such a way as to negatively affect said people.

3. You may support the medical records aspect but do you really support
Rush? I would certainly hope not. I feel that it will be hard to make distinctions regarding medical privacy when it comes to UAs and breath tests and DNA tests. All could be considered medical or at least privacy infractions.

5. I don't support Rush the person...
But if the ACLU is backing him on this, he obviously is in the right.

7. Do you support the use of Breath tests and DNA samples?
These are also privacy issues. Ones used to fight crime and determine paternity also the drug tests that government is demanding of everyone. These could easily be considered "medical". If the police can not use medical records then they should not be allowed to use any of these "medical" procedures. IMHO

8. It's amazing how now Republicans don't like leaks from
prosecutors. I guess they forgot about Kenneth Starr.

11. What a crock!
There's plenty of other abuses of the criminal justice system that you could draw attention to. Far more serious ones than poor wittle Wush Wimbaugh.

Don't pretend that you are some kind of constitutional defender by coming in here and whining that Wush Wimbaugh had some of his lawyers bullshit comminications published and pretend that you give a shit.

Wush Wimbaugh, the man who you use as your raison d'etre with regard to protecting out privacy is the worst thing to happen to this nation since... since.... since its fucking inception. Quit whining about little shit like this and back up a few paces and look at the big picture. Choose another, deserved, case to use for your pontificating. Wush Wimbaugh is a feckless, pig-fucking coward.

13. remember scrooge
sometimes you can only be shown the truth by being dragged down into the midst of it. Rush needs to be taught that hypocracy nevers pays. And trodding on your fellow man in order to better yourself is not acceptable.
