Until I recently I worked for the USPS, because I was qualified to drive postal vehicles and operate power equipment, I had to agree to submit to drug and alcohol tests at any time, without cause, no matter how squeaky clean my driving record is. Is it too much to ask to have our elected officials as well as those seeking office do the same? ?

Interesting idea -- see:

Americans Want Congress Members To Pee In Cups To Prove They're Not On Drugs

According to a new HuffPost/YouGov poll, 64 percent of Americans favor requiring welfare recipients to submit to random drug testing -- a measure pushed by Republican lawmakers in recent years -- while 18 percent oppose it. But an even stronger majority said they're in favor of random drug testing for members of Congress, by a 78 percent to 7 percent margin. Sixty-two percent said they "strongly" favor drug testing for congressional lawmakers, compared to only 51 percent who said the same of welfare recipients.

You are right. If a USPS driver must submit to random drug testing, then so should our elected officials and judges who make life and death deciisions should to.

Anybody receiving a government check of any kind should have to undergo random drug screening.

Exactly....you need a drug test to drive a school bus or an 18 wheeler....

.....so a drug test for those that seek to drive the United States is appropriate.
