Have you even bothered to read the thread?
What this law is doing is punishing people without affording them essential civil liberties such as the right to a fair trial and the right to appeal. Maybe you don't think these rights are important and will only affect guilty people who are getting what's coming to them, but I certainly don't feel that way.
Most everyone in this thread agrees that there should be harsher penalities for drunk drivers, especially those who are significantly above the legal limit. Unfortunately, that's not at all what this new law aims to do.
