Court skeptical of candidate drug tests in Georgia case
The Supreme Court questioned whether Georgia's requirement that candidates undergo drug tests violates the Fourth Amendment. Libertarian candidate Walker Chandler argued the law is symbolic and unnecessary, while Patricia Guilday of the state AG's office said the policy prevents drug users from appearing on ballots. Justice O Connor pressed why a house search is more intrusive than a body test.
