Next Up, Flying Pigs
Via Atrios comes this change of heart by Rush Limbaugh:
In a petition filed Monday in Palm Beach County Circuit Court, Limbaugh asked for a hearing within three days on his request to have his medical records sealed.
Limbaugh argued that he has a constitutional right to privacy over the records, and that the seizure of the records by the State Attorney's Office was making it difficult for him to obtain treatment from his doctors.
Limbaugh really is the worst sort of "conservative" — if the right to privacy impacts people who aren't him, then there is no right to privacy, but if privacy protects him from the consequences of his own illegal acts, then it's enshrined in the Constitution.
