This is disgusting and all the people here that support legitimizing this practice are an embarrassment to this once great nation.

It sometime makes me wonder if the current generation is worthy of the sacrifices made by our predecessors. I know if anyone would have demanded my grandfather from the WWII generation do such a thing, they would be laying on the ground licking their wounds.

You have made some interesting points.

Allow me to restate one, which I pointed out in posting this article.
It is a fact that the State of Florida demands that every business they purchase goods and services from, enact and enforce “drug free workplace” policies for private employees.

If the abject hypocrisy of this legal requirement, coupled with an exemption for government employees, eludes you... frankly, I don't know how to explain to you that what our Governor is directing, and why I support his efforts, is an important step in returning controll of the Government back to our citizens.

I am not interested in “debating” you on an off topic point regarding settled law, since nowhere do you point to any efforts to overturn any laws regarding workplace drug testing, in Florida, or elsewhere.

Gov. Scott is attempting to direct that all State of Florida government employees abide by the same law those employees inflict on the private citizens of Florida.

Unless or untill the law is changed, I do not understand why you think government employees should be able to exempt themselves from it.
