Right on ...

I got a problem with drug testing in the same way I got a problem with drunk driving roadblocks. Yes, you catch people doing something illegal but you also subject the majority of people to a denial of their rights, namely, being presumed guilty without justification. If there is no probable cause to believe someone is drunk behind the wheel, or stealing so support a habit, why are they sujected to a denial of free passage on a public highway or of the opportunity to get a job (or some other thing desired). It especially chaps my ass because the ones doing the testing (or advocating the roadblocks) generally aren't subjected to the same infringements of their rights as the "common folk".

That said, an Ohio state rep feels the same way:

Republican lawmakers across the country have called for those seeking temporary government assistance to be drug tested. One state representative wants to extend the principle one step further, and drug test recipients of corporate welfare.

Ohio state Rep. Robert Hagan appeared Tuesday night on MSNBCs’ The Rachel Maddow Show to discuss his proposal.

...

Hagan said that if Republicans wanted to be consistent, they should drug test everyone who receives public money, including politicians, judges and recipients of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) — rather than just working and middle class people.

...

Good man. It would only be better if they abolished drug tresting completely.
