Should Rush Limbaugh’s assets be seized…? [View All]

I personally don’t like the “Seizure and Forfeiture” act as I believe it establishes guilt before the trial, but since it is being used to “combat” illegal drug use in the War on Drugs (as well as non-drug related offenses), why hasn’t Limbaugh’s assets been seized?

As I recall, this was supposed to freeze the assets of a suspected drug dealer so that person couldn’t use his wealth to hire a “good” lawyer, however, haven't we all read/heard stories about this action being taken for simple possession?

1. Civil - Preponderance (Tip Scales)
2. Criminal - beyond reasonable doubt

B. Seize and receipt money for investigation
C. Individual does not have to charged, arrested, or found guilty (much less P/C to keep money than convict person)
D. Can seize money with little probable cause or suspicion to investigate further
E. May be narcotic money, gambling money, or just stolen (large sums of money are just suspicious)
F. Basically who carries large sums of cash legitimately ($65,000 case)

III. TYPES OF SEIZURES
A. ADMINISTRATIVE - Handled internally by DEA (3 to 6 month turn around with no challenges)

B. JUDICIAL - Handled by U. S. District Courts by U. S. Attorney
1. Much longer turn around
2. Anyone can file cost bond to force administrative into judicial forfeiture
3. Over $100,000 must go judicial
4. Real property must go judicial

So, how does Rush NOT fit into the “Seizure and Forfeiture” guidelines??? :shrug:

On Edit: Isn't Rush a Multi-Millionaire???
