In 1941, Florida legislators passed a law that allows judges to quash the convictions of felony offenders, sparing them a life of potential economic hardship and the scorn associated with being a convicted felon.

I just cannot believe that this can be happening in the United States of America, even in Florida. God, I hope something can be done to fix this country and Florida.

ON EDIT: This isn't just about Rush, it's about the unbelievable distortion of Florida's entire justice system.

2. if he goes free he may get hooked again

which would be ok by me.

3. Believe me, going absolutely free will be worse for Rush.

The thousands of druggies that admire him will resent his hypocrisy and the self-righeteous-take-responsibility-for-your-actions will have a great silent falling away from him. No matter what, he's only a shadow of the threat to democracy he once was.

5. I agree.........Rush's credibility is entirely gone if he gets this break.

Personally, I think this works better for us than having him become a matyer on a conviction that'll plead out to probation.

This way, he has no more credibility in his strong suit, personal responsibility. He's just another super-rich moralist gasbag that gets special treatment when he breaks the law.

4. If he walks it will be because

he is rich and influencial and can get the best justice money can buy.
