I have mixed feelings about this ruling. Of course I agree MADD is out of control and ridiculous. But I have to ask, is it the job of the Supreme Court to decide what is “right” or whether or not what a legislative body does is unconstitutional. When I saw Alito and Thomas dissenting I had to think very hard about this... even though I am initially pleased with the ruling.

I don’t understand how any kind of motor vehicle offense could be considered a “felony” unless the defendant has the right to a jury trial.
