You said that a national ID is "the government's way of recognizing our individuality." Couldn't the same be said of anything the government does that singles out individuals?

The SS# is a violation of the Constitution. Can you show me where in the Constitution the federal government is authorized to assign such numbers to the citizenry? Can you show me where in the Constitution the federal government is authorized to set up a socialist system of wealth redistribution like Social Security in the first place?

How should I know how it would take place? The point is that I would rather not take the "wait and see" approach.

As for the people not standing for it? Your support for a national ID is proof that some people are more than willing to stand for it.

The congress is tasked with forming our laws. SCOTUS is tasked with reviewing their legality. Are you seriously disputing this?

In the begingin the SS# was for one purpose and it has since been used for another purpose. The reason being that ID was essential for the function of this nation. I laugh at you if you really think that this nation can function at its current state or grow without an ID. Laughable. Unrealistic.

I want the national ID and approve of it. THE ABUSE of such a thing is a different story. You can try to make them the same thing if you want to but that doesn't make what you are doing hoenst or true.
