Federal standards for identification are not authorized by the Constitution. It doesn't matter whether they're enforced through "laws" or economic "incentives" to the States. The politicians, by trying to force this on us without amending the Constitution to allow it, are showing utter contempt for states' rights and the principles of liberty.

  3. #3    From the article:
    "Size of government notwithstanding, REAL ID is still unconstitutional. It doesn’t matter if the politicians think that it’s absolutely necessary. It doesn’t matter if they think the Constitution is outdated."

    Absolutely, but that doesn't mean we're home free. Clarence Thomas' grounds for disagreeing with his colleagues on Bush's 4th Amendment-breaking NSA spy program and Geneva Convention-violationg "enemy combatant" concept were that the programs are "necessary". He was outnumbered, but the Supreme Court has taken a turn for the worse since then.
