Grayson w/ Cenk on Drug Testing Public Employees In Florida

submitted by Duckman33

1 decade 3 years 11 months 2 weeks ago

MSNBC host Cenk Uygur speaks with former Florida Congressman Alan Grayson about Florida Governor Rick Scott making drug tests mandatory for all public employees in his state. Scott also wants to test welfare recipients (and charge them for it) but he is opposed to a database to track prescription drugs. Does the Governor have a vested financial interest motivating him? Is he just trying to protect Rush Limbaugh who was infamously addicted to Oxycontin?

Are there no Federal agencies (ie. the Whitehouse, IRS) that looks into these allegations?

That's what I was wondering Sage.

I think it's all about the 'honest service fraud' laws, which the supreme court declared were unconstitutionally vague.

This is one of those things that simply make my jaw drop in utter horror. You elect someone to office, and that someone proceeds to enrich themselves and others at the expense of the taxpayer, despite laws that say, "You can't do that," and instead of hauling them off to jail, the Supreme Court says, "Eh, but whaddaya mean by "enrich" and "expense?" That's too vague." It's a wonder that the insider trading statutes hold up in court.
