I can have empathy if one has an addiction problem as I truly wouldn't wish that on anyone, but not if you want to drug test people on welfare while you're doing blow or getting arrested for DUI.

Here in GA, at least 2 Republicans in Congress got DUIs (one twice) yet they were for mandatory drug testing for welfare recipients.

Guess what happens if you get convicted of a DUI here? Mandatory drug and alcohol tests for at least a year.

No sympathy from me.
