DK - you've neglected to offer any proof that driving is a right and not a priviledge. We all agree that it's a state and not federal matter. Great. We're obviously not going to disect 50 state constitutions, but I've given you my interpretation of the Illinois one.

Perhaps we should start by why you think it's a right and why you think jail time is appropriate for minor traffic violations. That seems to be much more of an infringment of freedom than the revocation of state licensing.

I suppose that you'll tell next that state licensing for anything, including doctors, architects or pilots, is infringement on personal freedom too.

RATBASTID GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

If Nebraska (or Texas or Illinois) decides to rescind all driving priviledges, then there are going to be a lot of pissed off Nebraskans (or Illinoisans or Texans). I imagine that they'd have to have a pretty damn good reason to do that along with the idea that the people would consent to it. Perhaps it would be a response to Godzilla confusing Omaha with Tokyo.
