The Washington Times editorializes, “President Obama’s pick to head the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration raises a few red flags. If confirmed by the Senate, Chuck Hurley, CEO of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, will drive motorists over the cliff with regulation.” The Times says, “Mr. Hurley has a history of pushing laws that harass millions of law-abiding citizens to ensnare a few lawbreakers” and “he supports returning the 55 mph speed limit to our highways as well as roadblocks and random pullovers to make sure drivers aren’t doing anything wrong.” The paper argues, “this methodology is based on a presumption of guilt – not innocence – of the average driver who is doing nothing wrong.” The Times urges “senators to reject this nomination.”
