Egads! Not Texas! I’m all for throwing away the key on DUIs and I generally frown upon any sort of alcohol use but drawing blood is no where in there. That’s an invasion. If we really want to stop DUIs then appoint some judges who have a backbone and will sentence them to the max rather than patting them on the backs and sending them back out onto the roads.

In Skagit Co. WA during the last election cycle the dolts elected a Judge (D) that had a DUI and other driving issues. This judge that recently ruled to allow tainted state evidence in the prosecution of DUI cases. Other counties have ruled not to allow this evidence. My point is that a judge with a DUI history shouldn't’t be anywhere near any kind of DUI case. He sits on many DUI cases. If you were hauled up in front of a judge for a DUI wouldn't’t expect he didn’t have a DUI history? If he did wouldn’t you expect him recuse himself? During the campaign I called MADD’s HQ and asked what they thought about this potential judge. They said they didn’t have a position on judges with DUI's. What?? I’m just baffled.
