Drug tests for welfare law struck down by federal judge

Mandatory drug testing for welfare was ruled unconstitutional in 2011.

In 2011 Florida passed a harsh law that not only required people on welfare to pass drug tests, but also required them to pay the $25-$45 fees for the screenings. The state’s GOP Gov. Voldemort Rick Scott had made drug testing a central part of his campaign platform. US Navy vet Luis Lebron — a single dad and college student with a four-year-old son — refused to take the drug test and was denied Temporary Aid for Needy Families (TANF) benefits. He sued the state with help from the American Civil Liberties Union(ACLU), and the court ordered the state to suspend the law. The 37-page opinion stated that testing urine for drugs  “unreasonable searches” that violate people’s fourth amendment rights. The court also scolded the state for ignoring data that proves TANF recipients are no more likely to take illegal drugs than anyone else.

they are using their own stereotype to say people of color on welfare are drug addicted they never mention the fact that more Whites receive these benefits are they afraid of letting them know and losing that support because they sure don't seem to know and still vote for them. how many of them are using?

The church-going Navy Vet with the cute and well-behaved son impressed folks in the courtroom and told reporters:

"The new law assumes that everyone who needs a little help has a drug problem. It's wrong and unfair. It judges a whole group of people on their temporary economic situation."

they know what they are doing, maintaining their status quo in between witch hunting.
