[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Police State BUMP!

As long as our government agencies are able to share criminal and intelligence information, there shouldn't be a need for this intrusive measure.

Thanks for the heads up.

As I told a group of state legislators from around the country, two years ago, they have only two options. 1) The states themselves will tighten up their drivers license procedures, so only people who are actually US citizens can get drivers license, OR, 2) the federal government will pass a law requiring states to get proof of citizenship before issuing licenses.

Since the states have, stupidly, not done item 1, the federal government is now doing item 2. And if you ask how can Congress force the states to shape up or ship out, they cannot do that DIRECTLY. But Congress CAN say to the states, "Do this, or we will cut off your transportation funds." There will then be a loud sucking sound, and the states will fall in line, just as they did on the 55 MPH speed limit.

And quit yer bitchin' about this being a "national ID card." It is not that. It is only a requirement that the states start closing the gaps in their laws that allowed most of the 9/11 terrorists to get state drivers licenses and even register to vote as if they were Americans.

This law will simply shut down the stupidity that lead to 3,000 Americans getting slaughtered. If you oppose that, feel free to say that it's okay when Americans get killed. But cut the cr*p about a "police state." It is no such thing.
