Rutherford Institute Challenges Constitutionality of Proposed Bill to Require Welfare Recipients in Virginia to Submit to Drug Testing

Drug testing is required by many employers so what is the big deal.. I for one think its a great idea!




I have to disagree strongly with you on this one. If people who go to jobs, earn wages, and pay taxes to supports
entitlements which are doled out gratis must undergo drug testing, then why should the people who receive
the benefits not do the same. At some point, some one has got to give the middle class a break. You are all
breaking our backs. When the middle class no longer exists, you smart lawyers know what that will mean.
WISE UP!




Sorry your wrong on this one. if TAX payers money is being used congress has the power to put conditions on it. there is no privacy issue.




I could not disagree more with The Rutherford Institutes decision to challenge a bill that would require applicants, of any form of public assistance, to submit to drug screening as a prerequisite to receiving any assistance. Urinating into a cup is an erosion of our 4th amendment rights? This is a physically invasive screening method?

Most, if not all, applicants and employees of private companies and government agencies must submit to mandatory drug screening as a prerequisite for employment.
Pray tell, how do those individuals, people wanting something for nothing, excuse me, people in need of subsistence, differ from all the working people, who if they wish to remain employed, need to submit to the same screening methods.

Your exempting one group of people from a screening process that the very people who pay taxes, and indirectly pay the very people you want to exempt, must submit to in order to gain and retain employment is nothing short of hypocritical. What is good for the goose should be good for the gander.
