[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 1542777, member: 1294"] This issue was dealt with some time ago, why would they try to set up what the court has already ruled against? If they really wanted to set up a testing program why didn't they set up a program like several other states are using the "reasonable suspicion" type which the courts have found acceptable? Doesn't really make sense unless there's some other motive maybe. Settlement Reached in ACLU of Michigan Lawsuit Over Mandatory Drug Testing of Welfare Recipients December 18, 2003 [DETROIT - Michigan's attempt to impose mandatory drug tests on all welfare recipients has finally come to an end, the American Civil Liberties Union announced today after a settlement was reached with the Family Independence Agency (FIA). The FIA can now require drug testing of welfare recipients only where there is a reasonable suspicion that the recipient is using drugs].
