"-- reality is that the Supreme court is the final arbiter in constitutionality. --"

Read the 10th & the 14th. The 'final arbiter' of Constitutionality is whether our rights to life, liberty, or property are being infringed upon by powers not delegated.
There is no power to block roads [for DUI control] delegated to ~any~ legislative body in the USA.

You're defending roadblocks, I'm not.

LOL.
No, you are defending your interpretation of the US Constitution, which is incorrect.

You're 'laughing' because you can't refute my facts about our Constitution. Poor fella.

Correct...and who decides these things? The US Supreme Court.

"You're defending roadblocks, I'm not"

True, as they are constitutional and serve a good purpose. We lose about 5-6 times more people on our roads to drunkend drivers than we have lost in Iraq in the entire war.

"You're 'laughing' because you can't refute my facts about our Constitution"

I'm laughing because it's funny when a person loses an argument and can't accept it. A minimis temporary DWI roadblock has BEEN RULED CONSTITUTIONAL AND THUS IS SO. Your only refutation is that "you" know better. It's anarchical constitutionalism. How ironic that it closely resembles the liberals' relativism approach. Sorry for lauging, but it is funny as hell.
