(Rep. Jim) Clark, who was convicted of DUI himself 10 years ago, isn't the only Idahoan concerned about the huge number of drunken driving cases that appear in courthouses throughout the state every day, or the number of automobile collisions caused by people who risk their own and others' lives by driving when they shouldn't. It seems no penalty is great enough to deter some people from such recklessness. But a law with no enforcement mechanism is worse than no law at all. It only encourages disrespect for laws in general, and the people who write them/Jim Fisher, Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: Would you support a bill like Jim Clark's to prevent repeat DUI offenders from getting alcohol, if it meant you'd have to show your ID every time you bought beer, wine or booze?
