And in a stranger development, the ACLU has offered to help Rush Limbaugh in his Florida medical privacy case. Yes, Rush Limbaugh! Could they be trying for a precedent to help them in the Terri case? Verrrrrrrrrry interesting.

When I heard about the new developments in the Rush Limbaugh case, I immediately thought of Terri. In hearing about Rush, I learned that, unlike the Federal Constitution, the Florida State Constitution does include a section providing for the right to privacy. That is the basis of Rush's case (i.e., keeping his medical records sealed), as it is in Terri's "right to refuse medical treatment," according to Felos.

It seems to me, that the ACLU's involvement in both cases illustrates its interest in pushing the "right to privacy" agenda.
