Supreme Court blocks state random drug tests for officials
The Supreme Court refused to uphold a Louisiana law requiring elected officials to undergo random drug testing. The 1997 Georgia ruling had already limited testing of political candidates. The Louisiana measure aimed to ensure integrity but faced federal court rulings declaring it unconstitutional. The case contrasts with debates over national health protections and patient rights amid ongoing congressional maneuvering.
