Secretary of State Clinton says Drug Legalization Likely Not to Happen Because "There’s ‘too much money in it."

US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton believes that the United States would have a hard time legalizing drugs as a means of fighting the black market because " there is just too much money in it ." In an interview with Mexican television regarding drug legalization Clinton responded, "You can legalize small amounts for possession, but those who are making so much money selling, they have to be stopped. They can’t be given an even easier road to take, because they will then find it in their interest to addict even more young people." Advocates of legalization have roared back and responded by saying, "Clinton's response illustrates not only the intellectual bankruptcy of the prohibitionist position but the economic ignorance of a woman who would be president." At the Drug War Chronicle, Scott Morgan called Clinton's argument "perfectly incoherent" and argued it flew in the face of economic theory. Earlier in the year MMC posted a blog ...

Claims of NFL Players Being Alerted to Drug Testing Shadows Greenbay Packers Superbowl Victory

Media outlets are claiming that NFL players are being alerted to their scheduled drug testing making the drug testing policies and procedures ineffective.  The Wall Street Journal  (WSJ) claims that  Packers head trainer Pepper Burruss alerted Scott Wells after Green Bay's wild-card victory against Philadelphia that the center would be expected in the following day for a drug test.  There are two different opposing views - The NFL and The International Doping Community - on letting players know that they will be tested. The NFL accepts the action of giving advance notice of a test on a game day. Adolpho Birch, the NFL's vice president of law and labor policy, said teams are only allowed to give advance notice of a test on a game day because players are often given the following day off. The league's policy states that if a player is notified but fails to show, he could be subject to NFL discipline. Tests are not given on game day because of log...

Background Checks and Drug Testing of Government Contract Workers Deemed Constitutional

The United States Supreme Court recently ruled 5 to 9 that the government has the authority to run background checks and drug testing on federal contract employees. Conflict surrounding the issue arose right after 9/11 when President Bush ordered security checks extended to anyone working on government funded projects. A group of 28 scientist and engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory rejected the idea as an intrusion of privacy and sued the government. Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito wrote that, “Reasonable investigations of applicants and employees aid the government in ensuring the security of its facilities and in employing a competent, reliable workforce.” In the decision, joined by five of the nine justices, Alito said “Like any employer, the Government is entitled to have its projects staffed by reliable, law-abiding persons who will ‘efficiently and effectively’ discharge their duties.”
