"Gov. Jeb Bush's daughter cannot have her drug court hearings closed to the public, a judge ruled Tuesday. Circuit Judge Reginald Whitehead said that Florida's drug courts are criminal proceedings and are open to the public. He weighed the patient's right to privacy against the public's right to access to court proceedings."

A hearing will be held Thursday and the Court will decide whether Ms. Bush will be allowed to remain in the drug treatment program or turned over to the criminal justice system.

Update: Governor Jeb Bush had this to say about his daughter's case today.

"In interviews Tuesday, the governor said that his daughter's battle with drugs has strained his family. But he accepted the judge's decision."

"The judge had to make that determination. All I can tell you is it's a lot harder to deal with drug addictions with these big lights, but it's his court," Bush said at a campaign stop. "The sad fact is, and the good news is, that frankly cameras and reporters aren't as interested in the other people in drug court, so they have some degree of privacy to be able to cope with their addictions."

"The governor said his daughter has not received preferential treatment. "In fact, as a father my concern is to make sure that she's treated as she should be treated and people don't go overboard because of who she is to treat her differently," he said. "

"Bush said his daughter's addiction is difficult to handle as a father. "I see pictures of her when she was 3 or 4 four years old and I vividly remember that," Bush said. "But now she's 25 and the laws apply to her as they apply to anyone else. I just hope the laws apply to her like anybody else."
