EUGENE, Ore. - If you refuse to take an alcohol breath test this Fourth of July weekend, be prepared to give blood.

Eugene, Springfield and Oregon State police plan a "No Refusal Weekend" over the Independence Day holiday.

Police plan to work in coordination with prosecutors and judges to quickly obtain "blood draw warrants" for drivers who refuse blood alcohol content testing.

I do but I’m just saying the SCOUTUS is not consistent in their rulings. Thus, this could be and should be challenged in a federal court of law.

We have a system that was given to us, and a “mechanism” to take care of anything that the US Supreme Court decides that you don’t think is right. The process for overriding the US Supreme Court is a Constitutional Amendment. It’s that simple, in terms of the process and dealing with a decision you think is wrong.

We don't need a Constitutional Amendment. We have the 4th Amendment.

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.

Our sovereign Rights come from our Creator(not government), and is recognized by the U.S. Constitution. Our rights trump any Constitutional Amendment period.

You need a Constitutional Amendment if you disagree with a US Supreme Court decision ... as that’s the “mechanism provided” for the people to overrule it ... :-) ...

Checkpoints are unreasonable, but if it’s not a checkpoint there’s no problem. It’s pretty standard for large municipalities to keep a couple of overnight judges on hand to approve the blood draw if you refuse the breath test. And in some states you get punished for refusing the breath test (AZ is automatic one year license suspension) THEN they call the judge and draw your blood.

What’s so wrong with holding someone down and sticking a needle in their arm? I mean its the law right? It must be constitutional or they wouldn’t do it. They could just thrown you to the ground and taze you to death.
