207. I'm not defending Dick Cheney and you know it
I'm trying to point out that the best argument we have doesn't involve talking about 40 year old DUIs and that the more we talk about them, the weaker, not stronger, our case seems.

Have you ever debated? Cause you really need to brush up on your skills.

Finally, what difference does it make that leaving the scene of the accident in my example was clearly a violation of the law. As I said, the point was that in my hypo, the person was willing to risk that violation to avoid being seen by the cops with some amount of alcohol in his system. Just as Dead Eye obviously was willing to risk the criticism of avoiding the cops and thus avoid timely investigation of whether he was under the influence of alcohol. Very suspicious. And once again,no need to give the other side the opportunity to claim that our case is based on 40 year old DUIs. Its not, so why bring them up.
