Why should a business be forced by the government to hire drug users. Business owners should have rights as well.

I never said that anyone should be forced to hire anyone. I am merely pointing out that it does not logically follow that employers therefore have a right to stick needles in their employees' veins, or to require them to go "pee-pee" into a cup while Nurse Ratched watches, etc.

Do you understand? Your negative right (i.e. your right to not have to hire me) does not vest you with a positive right (i.e. the right to invade my privacy and forcibly extract my body fluids).

Elegant, how the Constitution works, isn't it?

Regards,

Who is forcing you? You can simply turn around and refuse to work for the company if it means submitting to a drug choice...you have a choice...they have a choice...what’s the problem?
