The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is taking Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) to court, forcing him to defend his highly controversial law requiring all welfare recipients to be screened for drugs.

The ACLU Tuesday sued the state of Florida on behalf of 35-year-old U.S. Navy veteran Luis Lebron, a single parent who lost his job in 2008 after his employer downsized.

Lebron says he does not take illegal drugs but contacted the ACLU because "it really hit hard when I had to go down there and go through this."

2. Testing all STATE WORKERS too

If you have a government, and not FOR PROFIT JOB, you must be on drugs. ACLU was going to sue on that one too (case precedence for this one) until Scott dropped it. Rick Scott CORRUPT Medicare Fruad AND drug testing company owner. Oh, forget. He sold it to his wife.

7. It is a huge waste of money.

We already pay the DEA, the police and the courts to punish drug abuse. This measure is redundant.
