Both Rick Scott and state employee union members are declaring victory after a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday on the Florida governor's controversial efforts to subject some 85,000 state employees, and countless more job applicants, to suspicionless drug testing.

In a unanimous decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit overturned a federal trial court's ruling last year that declared Scott's entire policy to be an unconstitutional violation of Fourth Amendment protections against unlawful searches and seizures.

President Obama may or may not have known that his own IRS officials were singling out conservative groups for harassment and intimidation, but that campaign was entirely consistent with the political culture actively fostered by Obama and Democratic officialdom.
