Right church, wrong pew. Instead of giving them a test they can get clean in time to take, tell teens you're going to suspend their licenses for 3 mo. for the first offense, six months for a second, and a year for subsequent offenses. I suspect that would work far better.

These Drug Warriors are fighting a loosing battle, and they're too blind to see it.

Why doesn't this silly statist broad just get it over with and put the chip in the hand or head?

If the REASON is good enough, any infringement on individual liberty by the state is not only legitimate and good, but REQUIRED for the "good" (as defined by those in power) of the collective. Just ask: Stalin, Hitler, Mao, or Jiang.

The drivers license argument is a red herring. Cant wait for all the statist vomit to come from the ignorant, intellectually vacant, emotional soccer mom, flag waving, brown shirt, useful idiot man-girls.

Presumed guilty until proven innocent; guilty of anything means guilty of everything forever until the end of time.

Excellent modern day Republican interpretation of basic Orwellian principles. This man's wife is highly likely to occupy a Senate seat for 6 years after next Tuesday.

With Republicans like these who needs DemocRATS?

OK! Fair if there is drug testing for all those that win office for U.S. Senate.

I don't know... I always kind of chuckle when I hear these proposals for revoking a license for First we had DUI/DWI, then failure to pay child support, last year it was soliciting prostitution, now we have failing drug tests. The fact is, and I know from experience working in a county courthouse, that most people just continue to drive without a license. In fact I would say 75% at least. Some people do it just to spite the law, most though have no other choice -- Jobs. I realize this requirement is for first time applicants for drivers licenses, but I believe the effect would be the same.

Elizabeth Dole wants to require all teenagers to pass a drug test before getting a driver's license.

Excellent idea, Liddy, but PLEASE tell me you're not favoring this at the Federal level.

[AAABEST]

Not only is she a grabbing liberal RINO (replacing a conservative giant) but she's an irrational statist twit as well.

No wonder Darth Sideous refused to vote for her, and got banned for it.

[NittanyLion]

So Dole's proposing a federal law?

I sure am glad the GOP's running such a staunch conservative. < /sarcasm >

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

That's less government?
Nazi witch!

[ninenot]

She's STILL a suspect. The 'presumption of innocence' (even though this is a license matter, not a criminal matter) didn't seem to enter her alleged thought-train.

If a driver is DUI, it's REVOCATION for at least 6 months. Simple, after-the-fact, determination of guilt.

NEXT: substance tests for gun-owners!!

"all teenagers to pass a drug test before getting a driver's license"

What if a kid's test reveals a high dosage of Viagra?
Will he get his license, conditioned on his driving only a Woodie?

[AppyPappy]

Help me out. Why is this a federal matter?

Tell socialist Dole to keep her nose and the Federal nose the hell out of driver license business. I voted against Bowels, not for Dole.

[metesky]

You don't need a license to drive; all you need is keys.

I am a firm believer that a kid shouldn't drive high until he owns his own damn car.

[cynicom]

I am in favor of a Federal Law that mandates, "To run for elected office all candidates must have resided in and voted in that state at least five years prior to filing for a federal office"...Someone should ask Dole if that would be okay....

When anyone could be a suspect, everyone is . . .

Dole Links License To Drug Test

In search of a campaign. Try again, Liddy.
