Florida has a new law requiring welfare applicants to pass a drug test before receiving benefits, but a federal judge has blocked it. She says it violates the Constitutional ban on unreasonable search and seizure. I don't think so.
If any suit needs to be filed here, it needs to be on behalf of the taxpayers who are having their wages unreasonably seized and given to others. Luis Lebron is the 35-year-old single father who filed the lawsuit. He should be grateful that the state is willing to consider giving an able-bodied adult man a handout. Instead, he ungratefully takes that "you owe it to me" attitude so prevalent today and refuses something as simple as giving a urine sample. Well, Luis, if you don't want to give the sample, that's your privilege, and it's the privilege of the taxpayers to refuse to support your lazy lifestyle.
Unfortunately, I foresee that Luis will win his case.
