Is this the United States of America, or the Middle East?

Defense attorneys would be banned from advertising their expertise with drunken driving cases under a bill advancing in the Senate.

Sen. Rosalind Kurita, a Clarksville Democrat, successfully added the provision to a bill that would create an online registry of repeat DUI offenders in Tennessee.

Kurita says officials have a hard enough time convicting drunken drivers without lawyers advertising their expertise in the field and offering discounts to DUI defendants.

Hell... why bother giving them lawyers at all?  Really... why bother with a trial then?  Why not just let the cops shoot them on the side of the road if they fail a Breathalyzer test?

And the online registry idea sure is growing in popularity isn't it?  First will come the registry, then cities will begin passing ordinances so that people on that registry can't live within a certain distance of a business which sells alcohol, which will conveniently make most of that city out of bounds for anyone on the registry.

How did we lose our constitutional rights?  One law at a time.  Via The Agitator.
