We need drug tests for ANYONE who is elected or appointed...or on welfare, or food stamps, or Section 8 housing, or WIC....etc

I think that the judge’s already provided adequate evidence of using mind altering something or another...
I CRINGE every time I see the words U. S. JUDGE!!

Same here. Funny thing was that I was a state employee I was never tested and may know of one or two that ever were.

Don’t wanna piss in a jar, get a job!!!
Working buys you freedom! Laziness gets your urine tested twice a week....
Welfare is not mandatory, it is voluntary and as such if you don’t want to get tested, don’t get on welfare....

He who pays the piper calls the tune, if I recall.
If my tax dollars are paying to support someone, I insist they do a few bars of ‘Tinkle in the Cup’ by Dolly on the Dole.

And Random Drug tests at that too!
Have a Test Mobile much like the blood donation mobile, that drives and shows up randomly every day to people who are on welfare and politicians homes and tests their piss and blood for drugs... They want them illegal, they can live by the rules everyone else has to, the damn fools!

I disagree with the decision but I actually can see the judges reasoning.It can't be an unreasonable search because it is voluntary. No one is being required to take a drug test.

So what about the unreasonable seizure of money from the people who have to pay for welfare?

So what about the unreasonable seizure of money from the people who have to pay for welfare? That would have standing, for a class action lawsuit, for an enterprising up and coming lawyer. Could judge shop it until it gets approved.

To: Chode
but i don't see how since they don't HAVE to take the money
And there's the rub. To think otherwise is to argue they have the right to money stolen from free citizens.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the test came back positive.

Ridiculous. If someone is giving you free money, I don’t care what they want you to do. If they want you to put your right foot in and then the right foot out put the right foot in and shake it all about, you should do it.

All your campaigning, your sign-waving, your Lee-Greenwood-singing, your voting speeches...
All wiped away by a single unelected Black-Robed Priest.
“Stroke of a pen, law of the land...”
And you morons will still line up at the polls and fill out your papers for the slaughter.

I agree with that - they should be drug tested, as these illegal drugs are the SCOURGE of society.
BUT ... at the same time I think EVERYONE should be drug tested, and anyone that fails, will need to undergo rehab. If they persist and do not get off these illegal drugs, after giving time for rehab and counseling - then those people should be thrown into jail!

So what is "unreasonable" about it?
It's not a criminal investigation.
To: Olog-hai
What if they argued that it was a “piss tax”?
