Its not a "removal" of the rights, they were already gone.
They are not gone at all. The 24 hour suspension can be appealed simply by following the officer to the police station and submitting to a proper test. If you do and blow under 0.08 then you get your license back and are on your merry way. I think the 24 hour suspension predates accurate mobile breathalyzers in every vehicle so if you were pulled over and the officer felt you were slightly impaired but couldn't tell he could issue a 24 hour suspension meaning you could either wait or prove your innocence.
