Of course it was blocked.

Can't let something like being a crack head from getting in the way of getting taxpayer dollars.

he can’t pass a pre-employment drug test. He also would likely qualify as disabled.

Yes people. it’s come to this.

As others have said CW 2 is coming. It’ll be short. We will win.

[Scotsman will be Free]

In locale after locale, common sense laws are being passed and then being overturned or blocked by the effing federal judiciary. Time for the states to tell district court judges to shove it. Past time for congress to start impeachment proceedings against these usurping black robed swine.

The problem is too much welfare; not too few restrictions on welfare recipients. I think the decision was a good one. As with all federal government regulations, this one opened the door to even more intrusiveness against all citizens.

We must work to reduce welfare in this country -- not just accept it and try to make the recipients' lives miserable to compensate.

Judges think they are legislators...if they want to make law, get off the bench and run for congress.. or .. get impeached..

there is no search or siezure...

if you want the money, submit to drug testing

if I have to submit to testing to EARN the money, the least they can do is the same when TAKING the money

Sadly, it seems “activist jurisprudence” would hold that the public has a “duty” to subsidize receipients’ drug habits ! >PS

I swear, if I ever get another dog, my dream is to teach him/her to read, then give him/her a list of Federal judges to bite.

[The Theophilus]

Interesting, so a judge considers drug testing for welfare to be a case of illegal search and seizure.

Would the judge be so kind to rule on the TSA who won’t let people get on a privately owned aircraft with drugs. The TSA assumes I am a criminal, then denies me my 2nd Amendment Rights by violating my 4th and 5th. If I were to fly from Dallas to Houston, TSA would still want to do a search without Probable Cause and without a warrant, a clear violation of the 10th and 14th Amendments.

My Rights to engage in contracts with a private company is routinely violated by the FedGov while there is yet no claim in the Constitution where a drug addict has free access to my wallet.

[VanDeKoik]

“A federal judge temporarily blocked Florida’s new law that requires welfare applicants to pass a drug test before receiving the benefits on Monday, saying it may violate the Constitution’s ban on unreasonable searches and seizures.”

You are getting money from taxpayers for NOTHING, and we cant demand that you be clean before you do?!?!?!

%#%^#&*@ trailer trash judge!

[ronnie raygun]

Newt had some good ideas about reigning in these renegade, anti American judges who are ruling from the bench. Much like zero is doing by passing everything by executive order and by passing congress purposely

[Lmo56]

Welfare IS NOT a right - either you apply for it, or you don’t ...

If you apply for it - you must pass its requirements for eligibility ...

If drug tests are part of the requirement then - take a cup ...

Looks like the illegal drug industry (and it is huge) has finally learned how to splash around some $$$ in the right places.

[chris37]

I just want to laugh.

Stupid country is stupid, and it proably just ought to be tossed in the ****can already,

[Blood of Tyrants]

The refuse the federal welfare dollars.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

It is pretty crazy when it is ok to drug test employees but it not ok to drug test welfare queens.
