Ill start by saying that “patriots” have the intelligence to use spell check, and to appropriatly apply verbage that makes sense.
You say you have the “heart of a patriot”….yet you give no examples…..
Sir you are a fringe psychotic and your loose ramblings make even the most edgy theorist sweat.
Your rant about how I am angry and a terrorist is at best laughable and YES most of America does agree with DUI laws.

How do you figure the constitution addresses your criminal offenses…..better yet tell us your philosophy of application of the constitution and how and where specifically it addresses DUI or really any criminal offense…..

Your rants and cursing at me dont phase me in the least…..your a criminal …you have no regard for others and your probably some trailer dwelling washed up peon whos beer money got spent on court costs because of a reckless choice to drive drunk.

Cry me a river brian….you B****…….I still have my drivers license and low insurance rates…….oh and I want to add I’m not obese…haha but thanks for your concern……nice attempt to construct some scientificly reliable data by using the word “statistic” over and over.

Psycho……go drink another natty ice and well be seeing your dumb a** on the highway….

youre a liar……a loser…..a psycho and no one pays you any attention you poor little fool

Here there is no court. It just gets done and if you have questions you have to talk to a drivers licence evaluator. It took several days to get through on the phone and when I did I could have gotten more answers from my dog. He was nasty, did not let me explain and basically said no one cares about you.

I was moved to tears today watching the innauguration. The man who I went door to door campaining for took the oath of office and I was never more proud to be an American. Then, in the middle of his speech he said something that made my heart sink and I felt a wave of depression come over me. He was talking about the common man and how he would help them them truely have life liberty and the pursuit of happiness and I knew I wasn’t included.

Bad luck. As a practical matter, a court order not to drink anymore really means “Don’t do anything that will bring your drinking to our attention”.

The basis seems to be that anyone who can’t follow this simple “don’t ask, don’t tell” rule probably shouldn’t be driving. And yes, it accidentally sweeps up the harmless too. There should be some limits.

BTW, this is the same principle behind scheduled drug screens– anybody who can’t stop a drug for a couple of days to take the test is probably out of control. Anybody who can is probably not a problem, as a practical matter.

And yes, the fact that such orders can cause arbitrary civil loss of driving priviledges years after a normal period of probation would have ended tends toward “cruel and unusual”. Down here (Texas) courts are generally willing to make exceptions to license suspensions for work-related driving.

My son returned home and of course there was an arguement. My son was two months away from his eighteenth birthday and is enormous. He outweighs me by at least 30 pounds. He got physical and tackeled me. I had enough and for the first time in my life I hit my child. Now my so called friend was an ex social worker and proceeded to tackle me from behind, put me in a full nelson and yelled for my son to call the police. He did.

The cop lives one block away and was there in minuets. There was no discussion of what went on or who started the fight and I went to detox. They made me take a breathalyzer test and I blew a .11
End of story. End of licence. End of job etc.

In Minnesota if you have had three or more DWI’s in your lifetime you can go through rehab, wait a period of years without a licence, get 5 letters of recommendation and AA cards signed for a year then pay your $780, retake the driving test and then they give you a B card. When you get the licence you have to sign a form stating that if you drink it invalidates your licence.

I’m certainly not proud of my driving record and am grateful I have never had an accident and hurt someone. I have not driven drunk for 13 years. It took way too long but I finally get it. The constitutional issue with the form I had to sign is that prohibition was repealed. The 21st amendment reads as follows:

Amendment 21 – Amendment 18 Repealed. Ratified 12/5/1933. History
1. The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.
2. The transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited.
3. The article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by conventions in the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.

This makes the form I had to sign before getting my licence back illegal and as such should be void.

I am also a little confused. Do you mean local state law forbids anyone convicted of a DUI from ever drinking alcohol again, on pain of losing their license ? This is not uncommon during (say) probation, but seems “cruel and unusual” if extended for life.

George W. Bush had one DUI, Dick Cheny had two. In both cases, the results of a misspent youth. But those times were more forgiving of youthful folly involving alcohol and did not demonize drinkers as much.
