saying the governor showed no evidence of a drug problem at the agencies to warrant suspicionless testing.Since when did that become the criteria for drug testing? All sorts of government departments and companies drug test and I've never heard that they had to prove an existing drug problem existed. This ruling sounds like something that will be overturned rather easily.

That's a bummer. By the way, I hold Gov. Scott in high regard. I met him a couple weeks ago at the airport and got my picture taken with him. I sent him a thank-you email letting him know I appreciated him taking the time to speak with me. I got a handwritten thank you note back (short and to the point):
Pretty cool to get that in this day and age.

In general, I've changed my mind about drug laws and find myself agreeing with Milton Friedman: that making drugs illegal does more harm than good. More people become addicts and die because of the laws than if there were no drug laws.

Yes, the Government shouldn’t be allowed to drug test people without reasonable suspicion, even it’s own employees.
This says nothing about private drug testing of course. Also says nothing about whether the Judge did this out of partisanship.

I’m of two minds on this. I despise the war on drugs and every manifestation of it. OTOH, let the people who rule over us feel the heavy hand of government regulation in fighting that ‘war’.

Every employer in the country is allowed, under law, to have mandatory drug testing. Even WalMart drug tests applicants.
But the government can’t? No - we can’t be accountable in any way.

If they are going to drug test government employees, then start with testing the White House and Congress.
