In Tuesday's civil rights news, the ACLU of Florida has announced that they have filed a motion with the Florida's Fourth District Court of Appeal, requesting permission to file an amicus brief with the court on behalf of conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh is suing the state of Florida after state law enforcement officers seized his medical records. The ACLU believes the state violated Limbaugh's constitutional right to privacy, in addition to several Florida statutes.... KCCI News Channel reports that American Indians met with Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack to discuss why American Indians are loosing their parental rights at a disproportionate rate to other races in the state of Iowa. Tribal leaders claim children of American Indians are being placed in foster care even when relatives are available and willing to take care of the children.
