// "On November 25, state law enforcement officials seized Limbaugh's medical records as part of a criminal investigation to determine whether Limbaugh illegally obtained prescriptions for pain medication from several doctors. Although officers obtained a search warrant to seize Limbaugh's medical records, the ACLU argues that a warrant fails to meet constitutional and statutory requirements necessary to preserve the right of privacy." //
At best, the ACLU's case on privacy was debatable, particularly since the crime being investigated was "doctor shopping" to obtain prescription medicines (OxyContin, etc.). And, yes, I do understand the ACLU's purview.
