And a cnn rep just said that the term illegal is the new “n” word.
Agree. The issuance of state driver licenses is subject to various state laws.
After having FL driver license for 35 years, I recently had to show a US birth certificate to renew.
As you said, AZ should refuse, it would violate their laws.
Motor voter. Give them a license and a voter registration at the same time.
I had to show proof of citizenship to get my AZ license 2 months ago. I used my US passport. My wife had to show proof of permanent residency. This makes me think that the DMV will drop these requirements after this decision, but who will make that order?
We’ll see how it plays out. My wife was not allowed to apply for voter registration at the DMV. I was allowed to apply with my US passport.
Found my answer:
‘The court ordered U.S. District Court Judge David Campbell, who had initially denied an injunction on behalf of the dreamers, to direct the state Department of Transportation to provide licenses to those who are in that program.’
The Federal Gov’t set new standards for State Drivers Licenses via the Real ID Act. If the States don’t meet the requirements, residents of that State cannot use a drivers license as ID for domestic flights. The court’s decision violates the Real ID Act because it forces the State of Arizona to violate the new standards. Starting January 2015, Arizona residents will need a Passport to board a domestic flight.
Message to Arizona, just don’t do it,
that’s what obama and the dems do.
The Framers called it arbitrary government, poison to a republic.
“4. _Resolved_, That alien friends are under the jurisdiction and protection of the laws of the State wherein they are: that no power over them has been delegated to the United States, nor prohibited to the individual States, distinct from their power over citizens. And it being true as a general principle, and one of the amendments to the Constitution having also declared, that “the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people,” the act of the Congress of the United States, passed on the — day of July, 1798, intituled “An Act concerning aliens,” which assumes powers over alien friends, not delegated by the Constitution, is not law, but is altogether void, and of no force [emphasis added].” —Thomas Jefferson, Draft of the Kentucky Resolutions - October 1798.
And since the states have likewise never amended the Constitution to grant Congress the specific power to decide driver's license qualifications, the 10th Amendment also automatically reserves such power uniquely to the states, not the feds.
In fact, the Supreme Court has clarified about the 10th Amendment that powers not delegated by the states to the feds expressly via the Constitution are prohibited to the feds.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
The bottom line is that the idea that the feds can regulate drivers licenses based on constitutionally nonexistant power to regulate immigration begs the question as to where some judges went to law school.
another court passing a law against the representatives of the people.
The 9th circus is back to being the 9th circus we’ve come to know and love, and damn the rest of us.
Thank you. That is what I needed to see!
Rick Scott is a fool. And so is Will Weatherford.
And I’m sure they will ALL be insured because they follow the law so well right? AND I’m sure Arizona allows same day voter registration with a ‘valid’ government issued ID. RIGHT?
Can you say,"Motor Voter?"
Arizona should tell them to go get their license from the feds then. And let every law enforcement office know that a federal driver’s license is NOT valid in Arizona.
The Fed has no business in the issuance of a state license for anything (marriage, driving, fishing, hunting etc).
Some states are compliant. Some states have been granted extensions because they moving towards compliance. Some states are non-compliant.
Because Florida is Real ID compliant. Follow the link in reply 57 for more info.
