    No one has a right to drink and drive and threaten the public.

    Sure, you do, and your call is dead wrong.

    that's your wishful thinking, because you worship government control. especially against your political opponents, but that's what hatefilled people do.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    StY, you are so lost.

    1. I agree you have the right to your say.

    2. In this case, your opinion is dead wrong.

    3. You threaten violence on those who oppose you, then jump on political opposition (which is their right) to the hate-filled rightists.

    4. You one crazy bro.

    you're just a brainwashed moron. you let the government tell you what your rights, freedoms, and privileges are. you let the government define their own limits and restrictions of a document that created it............you're the lost and crazy one, idiot.

    But in the same sense, the cops don't have the right to stop you without probable cause, and DUI checkpoints do exactly that.
    Often the bad drivers you see are also phone users while driving. Worse, texters.

Sitz, a majority of the Supreme Court Justices determined that the needs of the state to prevent drunk-driving accidents outweighed the minimal intrusion on sober drivers who just happen to get caught up in the DUI dragnet. Thus, the Justices argued, DUI checkpoints did not constitute an unreasonable search and seizure.
    Of course, the Supreme Court does not have the authority to change the Constitution.

    He's right.

    You cannot punish someone for what they MIGHT do.
