In a criminal investigation, the investigators have to follow certain
procedures, such as obtaining a warrant in carrying out a search. Rush
Limbaugh - according to the statements on his website at least - did not
contest here that his medical records can never be searched, but rather
that the officials involved did not follow the Laws of Florida in carrying
out their investigation of his records.
In general, however, I have no problem with Rush Limbaugh using all of the
Laws of Florida - even potentially those laws he may have disagreed with -
in his legal defence. In my mind, that's not hypocrisy - that's life.
