News From: Reddit
Why is it unconstitutional for U.S. politicians to be drug tested, but not unconstitutional for U.S. citizens to be drug tested?

I recently learned about and looked over the Supreme Court ruling of Chandler v. Miller. The Supreme Court ruled that it is a violation of fourth amendment rights to drug test legislators without individualized suspicion. As a U.S. citizen, isn't it therefore a violation of my own rights to be drug tested for any employment, on the grounds that there is no individualized suspicion? Both are pre-employment drug tests, and if the ruling applies to one group of people(U.S. legislators) but not another group of people(U.S. Everyone Else), is that not a clear-cut violation of my constitutional rights as a U.S. citizen?
