Supreme Court blocks Louisiana drug testing for officials
Editorials say the high court declined to hear a 5th Circuit case striking down a Louisiana law that would have required all state elected officials to undergo drug testing. It would have forced retests, hearings, censures, and fines up to ten thousand dollars, contrasting with constitutional protections against unreasonable government searches. The piece argues guilt should not be presumed and supports targeted testing only when signs arise.

Texas Baby Moses plan aims to curb infant abandonment
The Baby Moses Foundation, backed by Texas Land Commissioner David Dewhurst and Rep. Geanie Morrison, launches a public awareness drive to inform parents about handing over a newborn up to 30 days old at fire stations without prosecution. Since last September no baby has been left at safe havens, yet infant abandonment continues. Dewhurst funds a $200,000 media campaign to promote safe options for distressed mothers.

Immunity from character questions in a Clinton critique
Don Feder argues that allegations against Hillary Rodham Clinton about an antisemitic remark do not define her as anti-Semitic and criticizes liberal hypocrisy. He cites defenses by Rep. Nita Lowey and questions liberal consistency, labeling Hillary as deceitful and power hungry while portraying liberal compassion as hypocritical. Feder writes for the Boston Herald.
