You may STOP defending your own version of ‘my rights supercede yours’.
I’m not defending DUI at all. It is a crime, that kills. But I will not endorse, nor coooperate with any attempt to abbrogate MY rights in the nebulous pursuit of safety.
The issue of constitutionality of a law falls within the purview of the Supreme Court. This, FR, court of public opinion is for expressing your beliefs as to the constitutionality of a law. My position is that if your rights are being violated, sue and by all means voice your opinion on this site. Furthermore, just as no one needs to abide by laws related to drinking and driving, you do not need to cooperate with any attempt by an individual to abrogate your rights. I am sure you are smart enough to know that decisions have consequences. My original comment offered my opinion that I do not have a problem with DUI check points, nor do I view it as an infringement on my rights. Please be aware that I am not a Constitutional scholar, lawyer or judge.
Now if you would like to discuss this further, please come to my house, I will open up a great bottle of wine I got for Christmas and we can debate this until you have it out of your system, or that you afford me a different opinion than yours. Cheers!
ps, I will stop defending my rights when I am dead. I encourage you to do the same.
