Sorry, I have no problems trying to get drunks off the road, but I don't support taking away the rights of the innocent to do it. I'm sure some court has said this is legal, but I don't agree.

Alcohol checkpoints don't take away anyone's rights and they're very effective:

Amendment IV: Search and arrest warrants
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1990 that sobriety checkpoints are constitutional. What's your point?

Republicans don't believe in small govt.
