It's unConstitutional, by ruling of the 6th Circuit Federal District Court. Government drug tests equal SEARCHES. Imposing them without probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed is a direct violation of the 4th Amendment. Freeper types don't usually give a shit about that, but I'd think that a Democrat would.

It's incredibly cruel. It would punish CHILDREN. It would take away food, medicine, shelter, and warm clothes from CHILDREN whose parent(s) happens to test positive.

It's too fucking easy to make a MISTAKE and get a false positive, which would have the end effect of hurting the most VULNERABLE people in the COUNTRY. A poppyseed bagel. Cold medicines. Ibuprofen. Vitamin supplements. There's an enormous list of stuff that can cause a false positive on a drug test. If you get a false positive and get fired, you can always find another job. But if a poor person who has no other means of support but welfare gets a false positive, what the fuck are THEY supposed to do?! If they were able to work, they wouldn't be GETTING welfare. Jesus. This is not rocket science.

You ask, "How is it fair?" IT ISN'T. But that's not the fault of poor people. It's the fault of the fucking government that made drugs illegal in the first place. It's the fault of your fucking EMPLOYER for firing anyone who gets a positive drug test. It's the fault of SOCIETY for assuming that there's something horribly evil and wrong about smoking a joint now and then. But it's NOT the fault of the poor. So WHY, pray tell, do you want to rip the food out of the mouths of poor kids just because your life, my life, EVERYONE'S life, is UNFAIR?!
