Me thinks there should be random drug testing of each member of Congress along with sobriety checkpoints at the doors to the Senate and House chambers.

Can’t pass the test, they don’t get to vote on any legislation. Works for me.

If random drug tests are good enough for the average citizen, they're good enough for our Congresscritters.

More than that, any new health-care bill ought to be tested on the Congress that passed it, for about 12 years, so we can all see what a success it is!

My outlook has always been that Congress, legislators, elected officials, cops, judges, DAs and anyone sworn to an oath should face a much higher standard of behavior that the average schmucks that pay for their services.

Any public servant found using drugs or guilty of corruption should be treated as a three striker, and face loss of all accumulated pensions and a 10 year minimum sentence.

The Florida Governor issued an order on drug testing state workers but eliminated himself and legislators and justice officials. That’s BS.
