An ACLU spokesman told The Associated Press Wednesday the lawsuit is being filed on behalf of a 35-year-old Orlando man, Luis Lebron.
The spokesman says Florida's drug testing law is unconstitutional, saying it violates the Fourth Amendment's search and seizure protections.
No further details of the lawsuit were immediately available.
Gov. Rick Scott signed the drug testing bill into law in July. Under the law, welfare applicants must pay for the drug tests. If they pass, they'll get reimbursed. If they fail, they can't get benefits for at least a year, and could face child abuse charges.

Back up a minute here. I have to pass a drug test to get a job and pass one every time I get hurt at work, but these fucking crybabies are sniveling because they have to pass one to get free money, food and reduced rents? Are you fucking kidding me?
Hey, I honestly don't care if you want to smoke a joint every now and again if you can afford it, but I'm thinking that if you can't find a fucking job, you might want to stay clean in case you get offered one, you know?
And now these pussies from the ACLU are suing so Luis can stay home and get high on my dime? Fuuuuuck that shit.
And it's funny how those liberal bitches are all up in arms over somebodys' Fourth Amendment rights being violated, yet they won't lift a finger to protect my Second Amendment rights.
Seriously Kenny, you'd make a terrible liberal, ya know???? How do you expect to ever fit in in these "New United States of America"???
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's a sick, sad world we now live in......

ReplyDeleteFunny how nobody in the Republican debate game close to expressing any thought like that. But then Paul did say the Feds took away the pilot's guns prior to 911.
It's simple, if you don't want to take a golden flow, you don't have to. If you want free money from the government, you have to pee in a cup.
ReplyDeleteThese people aren't being forced to do this. Money always comes with strings attached (or it should).
They are VOLUNTEERING to get their welfare checks. They are not being FORCED to. If you do not want to take a piss test, don't apply for welfare. Figures it's gotta be Florida. At least the .gov is TRYING to do the right thing.
ReplyDeleteI doubt if one member of the aclu could pass a drug test.
ReplyDeleteFuck the ACLU! Fuck the FEDS!!
ReplyDeleteYou won't believe this, in 2005 on my 2,000+ mile race to get to my house in Louisiana to beat hurricane RITA there, I passed a truck and trailer on the interstate headed ther too. It was a frikkin ACLU MOBILE COMMAND POST! Damned thing was a tricked out with periscope mast antennae, generator, etc. The diesel dually pick-up pullin it was all limousine tint blackout, had matching paint scheme, logo shit as the trailer...unbelievable. must've cost at least half a mil.
