ACLU Stands Up For Rush Limbaugh

JANUARY 12--While Rush Limbaugh has regularly derided the American Civil Liberties Union and its causes, the group today came to the radio host's defense, filing a legal motion contending that Florida investigators violated Limbaugh's privacy rights when they seized his medical records last month. The ACLU's Florida branch filed the below request to submit a friend of the court brief in connection with an ongoing probe of alleged "doctor-shopping" by Limbaugh. The ACLU petition, filed with Florida's Fourth District Court of Appeal, seeks the "protection of every Floridian's fundamental right to privacy."
