Ah, the old "If it saves ONE LIFE" argument.

You can ban everything using that argument.

How about a needle that jabs the driver in the ass and samples the blood for marijuana impairment?

For the 99% that do not drink and drive, how is this even relevant?

Think she’ll answer in the affirmative if “it saves one life” is used as a reason for building a wall on the southern border?

I think every “lawmaker” should have a breathalyzer hung around his neck. If people shouldn’t drive around while under the influence, lawmakers shouldn’t be able to propose any changes to the law while under the influence.

I think breathalyzers should be required of congressmen three times a day, and weekly urinalysis screening for drugs.

The auto manufacturers will kill off this idea. No way do they want the hassle of engineering and warranting breathalyzers. None of this sort of technology is ever fool-proof and equipment malfunctions can and will occur. Can you imagine all the headaches and disgruntled customers this would create for the auto companies? “I wasn’t anywhere near drunk but my @#$! car still wouldn’t start!

[Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.)]

Well, at least she has the right name.

We’ll eventually reach “The Island” where your bodily excretions are measured for too much bacon.

Do that, and a new new cottage industry would be born: "Rent-a-breath."

But I would support the mandatory installation of such devices on cars after the first DUI conviction. Plus additional harsh penalties after the first DUI conviction.

Oh, and how about getting drunk illegals off the road, and out of the country?

Government has been talking about this for years.

The technology is there, and it is just a matter of time before such a law is passed.

It will prop up the market for used cars.

Not sure why an automaker member of Congress would advocate such a requirement.

Unless, the automakers see that they will profit from such a law.

Typical stupid liberal making a law that affects 300,000,000 because of the misdeeds of one.

Here’s your answer Deb. “No.”

Debbie Dingleberry. Has the brains of a canned ham. Got her seat from her husband, who was the poster boy for term limits. He’s been in congress since Hammurabi was a representative for Mesopotamia.
