ACLU joins Rush in the fight to keep his medical records sealed.

"The court also ruled that the American Civil Liberties Union can join the conservative talk show host in fighting to keep the documents private, creating an unlikely alliance in the case.....The ACLU joined the case Monday in support of the claim that Limbaugh's constitutional right to privacy has been violated."

1. I disagree with the ACLU on this one...

His medical records are not private. They must be handed over to the prosecutors, and that's the law.

I think the ACLU is defending him just for the irony of it.

Delicious irony, but still pointless. He will be made to turn them over.

2. Once again, Rush is shown to be a hypocrit.

He's demanded prosecution for drug users and blasted the ACLU. This is just too good.:bounce:

3. Good for them. Medical records are private. Mine, yours, Rush's

The purpose of laws is not to protect only people with whose views I agree.

Oh this is precious. The vulgar pigboy is now a recipient of his arch enemy. I like it. Keep it up ACLU. It shows how absolutely ridiculous pigboys charges have always been and what a hypocrite looks like.
