Bam! Lawsuit filed over Florida drug tests

When far-right assholes like Florida Gov. Rick "Max Headroom" Scott are allowed to serve in important elected offices, it eventually comes crashing down for them. And with the current bumper crop of losers like Scott, it's been a matter of mere months, not years.

Now the ACLU has filed a federal lawsuit against one of Scott's forced drug testing policies - not his welfare drug testing law, but his perhaps equally outrageous executive order that forces all state workers to take a drug test. The order regarding state workers is every bit as unconstitutional as the law on welfare recipients is. In fact, courts struck down a similar workplace drug testing policy in Florida in 2004.

The suit over the welfare law is still forthcoming. The Scott regime holds the Constitution in contempt, and has already been responsible for a mound of fascist legislation so deep that the ACLU is hiring several more lawyers just to handle it all. This includes a new Scott-backed law designed to suppress voter turnout. Several counties are already refusing to enforce that law, because it's unconstitutional.

Rick Scott is a thriving example of what ought to be the Republicans' slogan: "The Republicans. Giving you shit because they can." The GOP is like the schoolyard bully who you may remember, and the Citizens United ruling is like schools' "zero tolerance" rules that were designed to keep you from fighting back.
