lowed a defendant to inquire into the complainant’s tendency to engage in extra­
marital sexual relations).
66. See 42 U.S.C. §12112(d)(2) (limiting the legality of inquiries during the
preemployment period); id. at §12112(d)(4) (prohibiting inquiries during the em­
ployment period). Drug testing is not considered a “medical examination” under
the ADA. Id. at §12114(d)(1).

70. See, e.g., Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. §12-2235 (2005) (privileging, in civil actions,
any patient communication to a physician or surgeon regarding “any physical or
mental disease or disorder or supposed physical or mental disease or disorder or as
to any such knowledge obtained by personal examination of the patient”); Cal.
Evid. Code §954 (West 1995) (“[T]he client... has a privilege to refuse to dis­
close, and to prevent another from disclosing, a confidential communication be­
tween client and lawyer”); 735 111. Comp. Stat. Ann. 5/8-803 (West 2005) (ren­
dering privileged any “confession or admission” made to an accredited practitioner
of a religious denomination in her official capacity). As Catherine Ross contends,
privileges protect against “forced betrayal.” Catherine J. Ross, “Implementing

72. See Brown v. Walker, 161 U.S. 591,605-06 (1896) (“The design of the con­
stitutional privilege [against self-incrimination] is not to aid the witness in vindi­
cating his character, but to protect him against being compelled to furnish evi­
dence to convict him of a criminal charge”).

76. See In re Grand Jury, 103 F.3d 1140, 1146 (3d Cir. 1997) (“The over­
whelming majority of all courts—federal or state—have rejected such a privilege”).
77. In re A & M, 403 N.Y.S.2d 375, 380 (App. Div. 1978). When Monica
Lewinsky’s mother was subpoenaed to testify against her by Independent Counsel
Kenneth Starr in his investigation of President Bill Clinton, there was an enor­
mous public outcry. See Ruth Marcus, “To Some in the Law, Starr’s Tactics Show
a Lack of Restraint,” W ashington Post, Feb. 13, 1998, at A1 (providing reactions
from prosecutors who believed that Starr’s tactics were unwarranted). Critics have
likened the tactic of having parents and children testify about each other to some
of the infamous horrors of totalitarian societies, such as Nazi Germany, where the
government sought to make family members divulge information about each
other. See, e.g., J. Tyson Covey, “Making Form Follow Function: Considerations
in Creating and Applying a Statutory Parent-Child Privilege,” 1990 U niversity o f
Illinois Law Review 879, 890; Wendy Meredith Watts, “The Parent-Child Privi­
leges: Hardly a New or Revolutionary Concept,” 28 W illiam and M ary Law Review
583,590-94(1987).

written in any of his texts. Euclid is credited with a similar quote: “The whole is
greater than the part,” which he stated in Elements in the third century b .c .

a surface treatment” of the privacy issue and arguing that “Congress should give
very careful consideration to essential legal and technological safeguards for the
privacy interest”).
