THEN DON’T TAKE THE MONEY OR BENEFITS!!
I am furious..every job I have is based on drug tests if deemed needed by my employer or any new job requires drug testing!
What “irreparable harm”??? If he is using drugs, then get this joker out of
college” we tax payors are paying for!!!

If it’s a Federal program, the State should not be able to add conditions. However, the program should be abolished, as I don’t remember “gimme free shit” in the Constitution.
A simple way to avoid this is to eliminate all Florida state welfare programs (which we should do anyway) and then there would be much less incentive for freeloaders.

I demand that you provide for me and it's unconstitutional to ask me anything about my demand.
CW 2 is coming. It can't go on forever like this.

If his children need food, fine, give him food stamps for the kids with a mandate they be used for milk, bread, basic veggies, etc.
If he can’t feed his kids what the heck is he doing in “college”???

Funny.....when I was in the Army, I got drug tested at random. As a civilian, I worked at jobs where I was given a company vehicle. Drug testing was also required. In each case, they were conditions of receiving money...which was my salary. No federal judge or ACLU lawyer had a problem with it. Neither did I.

We need to completely overhaul this food stamp program and welfare!!!
You won’t believe the stories I hear from cashiers...limit the food stamps to basic food necessities, and do a means test to see if the person really qualifies, have drug tests or go back to the yellow govt cheese ! this is enabling at its worst!!!

“In her ruling, Scriven said the testing procedure could cause irreparable harm to recipients”
Sounds like she’s already “resolved” the case. Activist leftist. Who appointed it?

I’d just eliminate the food stamps entirely and tell him to go to his local church for some food.

Best idea yet!!!
If the govt wants to help..it can send surplus foods to the churches and synagogues and food pantries!
Maybe the “not so “ needy can get an app on their Iphone to find out what is in stock at St Cecelia’s today!!!

I think back to any child discipline I was on the receiving end of or just witnessed. The father was going to smack the kid and the mother was pleading for restraint and mercy. I believe it's almost that simple.

Being drug free in order to receive public assistance makes so much sense it's ridiculous. Someone getting assistance from others (taxpayers & many who are also struggling) ought to have as a very minimum that you are not using illegal substances. That the American Civil Liberties Union is opposing this doesn't surprise me in the least. How anyone can argue that this doesn't make sense is staggeringly stupid. But I know from long experience that the ACLU will oppose anything that makes sense. They are one of the most awful organizations in the country. I could write a book on the stupidity and insanity of this organization but others have already done it and they can write a lot better than me. I absolutely despise the ACLU.
