It is, but what bothers me even more is this mileage tax. F THAT! We already pay tons in gas tax and now they want to tax how much we use?

Yes.

Instead of actually punishing the specific offenders effectively (including the multitude of their enablers), the Democrats (including their RINO enablers) instead have decided just to punish everyone in the true spirit of non-judgmentalism.

Since this is going to be real popular with voters once word about it gets out, you have to wonder if the provision isn’t just a prop for the negotiating Kabuki dance when the Senate and House versions are reconciled.

If drunk drivers ae killing people, then shouldn't we ban all cars? I propose a national car buyback system be instated.

“A COMPLETE INSULT to all car owners who do NOT drink.”

Absolutely... Aside from the fact it will financially punish those who do not drink because of the additional vehicle cost and huge inconvenience. Breathalyzers are punishment for those who have been found GUILTY of a crime.

You are being pre-punished and fined for a crime you have not committed. And after you prove your innocence you do not get back that additional fine/cost you already paid innocent or not.

On it’s face without any additional details needed this is extremely unconstitutional. Nothing else needs to be debated any further than that fact. It presumes guilt before innocence.

Precisely. It jacks up the price of a car for no value added. If the non-drinker is compelled to blow into some hose to start the car, it becomes a place to accrue bacteria and viruses. A major league stupid act. You can bet somebody paid off a congress critter to put that on the books and will be paying kickbacks for years.
