The Supreme Court has finally put a limit on what the government can do in the name of winning the War on Drugs. Speaking on behalf of the Libertarian Party, Willis agreed.
Politicians love to use the War on Drugs as an excuse to repeal civil liberties.
But today, the court ruled that there are limits to how blatantly politicians can violate the Fourth Amendment. Under protest, Chandler took and passed the drug test, won more than 47,000 votes as the Libertarian candidate for lieutenant governor in the 1994 election, and filed a lawsuit questioning the constitutionality of the law. He started off with two defeats, losing in district court and in the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. But he didn't give up. This case may be an opportunity for the Court to delineate just what those limits might be.
