Florida Governor Rick Scott has suspended an order requiring all state workers undergo drug testing, pending resolution of a lawsuit that called the tests an illegal search of workers' bodies.
The Republican governor quietly signed the suspension memo on June 10 but it received little public notice until the American Civil Liberties Union obtained and circulated copies on Thursday.

The ACLU sued Scott last month in a federal court. It said mandating drug tests for workers who were not suspected of wrongdoing violated their constitutional protection against unreasonable searches and seizure, and robbed them of due process.



His missus must be really pisssed.
WHile I understand this is totally different to the welfare recipients. I am happy its been removed.
Wil there be a recall?

And, along side of the win of not drug testing some employees, some more successful demonstrating against him too....but I can post link after link of the evils of Rick Scott.  He has convinced me tea partiers are ignorant kooks!  The repubs, in all their Obama hate, opened a real Pandora's box!!

Thank Heavens

Lead by example.

I am opposed to Governors who own drug testing companies, whether the stock belongs in his name or his wife's, mandating drug testing for anyone.

I find it instructive that fla. has a large and politically active cuban population which seems to support this clown sucking money out of the education budget. Yet 90 miles away sits their enemy, castro, who keeps pumping money into education.
Any thoughts on this disconnect?
