I would rather lose fighting than roll over and let them start doing checkpoints for 'suspicious activity' or 'drug paraphenalia' or whatever they make up.

That's not the point..it's already been ruled that it's constitutional:

With respect to federal law, it is significant to note that the United States Supreme Court in Michigan Department of State Police v. Sitz (1990) upheld the constitutionality of sobriety checkpoints concluding that the degree of intrusion upon individual motorists who are briefly stopped, weigh in favor of the state?s interest in preventing drunk driving. Although sobriety checkpoints are viewed as constitutional on federal grounds, whether sobriety checkpoints are allowed at all depends upon the individual laws and constitutions in each state.
