So far, Americans are willing to support drug test ing of publit employees In an overwhelming majority, Schu man said Random drug testing of gtn eminent employees, as well as drug testing of state employees as a condition for stairs to re teive federal aid, are eroding tlie Fourth Amendment he stiiti The Supreme Court has come down in support of drug testing lor public employees r In Skinner vs Railway Labor Executive's Association, the court held that random drug testing of railroad employees without a warrant and without reasonable suspicion is reason able We iielleve that It Is reason able to condor.t such tests in the absence of a warrant or rea sonable suspicion that any par ticular employee may be im paired," the majority wrote in its lotto decision lustii e Thurgood Marshall, in his dissent, wrote. "I believe the framers would be appalled by the vision of mass govern mental intrusion upon the in tegrity of the human body On the same day of this deci sion, the court held in Von Kaab vs National Treasury Km ployees Union that drug testing of c ustoms inspectors also was constitutional.

Schuman said "But it's up to the lawmakers to make that determination if it's reasonable.” The court's deci sion violates privacy because no warrant or suspicion is re quired to test an employee, he said. The Oregon ACLIJ Oregon also disagrees with the Su preme Court's decision. "We support legislation pro hibiting drug testing," Reming ton said. "Drug testing does not measure job performance The\ can't say how much drugs im pair your performance." There are job performance tests on the market that can de termine il the employee is rum jietent to perform his or her job These tests are better indicators ol performance than drug tests lh.it involve "unreasonable search and seizure when done in the government without probable cause," she said Cases have been filed to chal lenge tins ruling, but the issue is far from resolved On its 2001 h hirthda v , the Bill of Rights mav be going through its toughest test of survival vet 1 Mix-up confounds OHSU doctors PORTLAND (AI *) Doc tors .it one of the nation's top transplant tenters struggled ITiduv to explain a mix up 1 hat left ii patient with an in compatible donor heart The man remained in c rill i .11 but stable condition at Or ogon Health Sciences Univer sity Hospital His name was withheld at fits family's re quest Dr Admin Oobunoglu, di rec tor of the heart transplant program at OHSH. said doc tors would try to find a new, compatible heart for the pa lien!
