Supreme Court Rules That Police Can Now Draw Blood In DUI Cases Without A Warrant

A) This shows just how important voting is. B) If you value your civil liberties as an American, you should be more than a little upset. C) This makes as much sense as the court's opinion on Gerrymandering yesterday.

Beyond saving your life and keeping you safe and out of harms way, nobody should be able to do anything to you while you are unconscious. If you can't see it, imagine it is your Mom, your wife or your child that is unconscious. Nothing is stranger than the odd mix of State and Federal laws in the USA.

Once again, you're a hypocrite.

You're OK with California pissing on the civil liberties of all Americans by trying to enact emissions laws unilaterally...

YET

Totally against prosecuting criminals who drive under the influence because their civil liberties might be infringed upon.

What utter nonsense!

Okay, on this political point we are in agreement.

Actually - the ruling On Gerrymandering is no what it seems.
THe Supreme Court has accepted and ruled against Gerrymandering when the claim was that the Gerrymandering Discriminated against a group.
In this case - such was NOT claimed - only that the Gerrymandering itself was illegal.

I cannot imagine a future case against Gerrymandering in Federal Court without a Discrimination claim - so this ruling is moot right now.

The second ruling on an Unconscious driver - is truly a mystery to me.

@Tom- Thanks for pointing out the difference and the nature of the ruling. Gerrymandering seems to be a practice that is as old as American itself. It will be good to see the back of it one day.

@CC #WTF do you care? You're Canadian! Oh that's right, you're hubristic and think your opinion on American issues should be heard. Go back to sucking maple trees.

@MD- I care because it simply isn't fair. I hate injustice. I was a boy scout once. What you learn stays with you. Win or lose the playing field should be even for everyone. A better question is why doesn't this drive every American nutty?

@CC That's just your hubris talking. Just because you care does not validate what you do.

The Supreme Court was right to punt on this. It is a political issue. If the case was brought to prove one group was unjustly hurt as in other cases, it would be different.
If gerrymandering is to be reset to having a bipartisan committee draw the lines it needs to be done politically.

@MD "WTF do you care? You're Canadian!" Ummm, yah well we Canucks care because many of us spend a lot of our vacation and Holiday time and money in the States - and I assume that these new rules apply to foreign visitors as well..

@Hawk You're just a triggered dimwit, Felicia. Canada is the hypocrite nation. It sucks off the teat of the the USA for many benefits and then turns around and criticizes. Canadians are wannabes who are over-compensatory with their jingoistic ways while they ignore the world laughing at them for being so enraptured by a nothing nation.

The Wisconsin case is not a mystery. It is part of the SCOTUS march toward immunizing police behavior no matter the theory for liability. It cuts across liberal and conservative ideologies. See, for example, Nieves v. Bartlett; County of Los Angeles v. Mendez; Castle Rock v. Gonzales, etc.

@garysandiego So obviously you hate the police and think that the Antifa terrorists should kill them, right?

This is in part driven by the legalizing of marijuana. There is no breath test. Accidents with injuries have risen dramatically since Colorado legalized pot.

Gerrymandering was put in place to assure fair and equal representation. In the past it was a bipartisan commission that redraw the district's. Republicans, pushed by anti-christ Karl Rove pushed for partisan so that republicans can rule regardless of the electorate.
In the case of NC, the fascist responsible for the redistricting said he believed republicans should govern and had no qualms about repubs getting 10 of 14 house seats despite getting 52 percent of the bote.

What exactly is your proof that Karl Rove was the anti-christ?

Fascists are Democrats. The definition of fascism reveals that.
