I love it---therefore it won't pass---

I just read an article yesterday that said that the ID law that passed the House requiring US citizenship proof for drivers licenses is sitting gathering dust somewhere and prolly will not be seen again...at least for a long time..

Face it folks, the House and the Senate do not have the "fortitude", "nerve", "integrity", whatever, to actually do anything about illegal immigration or anything related to it....(at least that is my impression)

Yet they could rush back to town and pass a do-nothing bill for a court to ignore in the Schaivo case, and get the President to rush back to sign it.

It's good to know that they'll go out on a limb to pander to people that will vote for them anyway. The day will come when they find out that there's a lot of us out here that can find something better to do on election day than go down and vote for the same old crapola.

Even though a few people here disagree but the Real ID Act is awful on the license provisions. The rest of it, I am neutral. What they could do is amend the law that was passed as part of the Intel reform back in the 108th Congress. All they need to do is put the requirement in that licenses cannot be issued to illegals. This would a few lines added/changed. Sensenbrenner's bill basically micromanages the state DMV's including the mandate that states MUST join the Driver License Agreement which mandates interstate and international reciprocity (Canada & Mexico) on stupid traffic tickets. What does this have to do with terrorism ? This agreement would also open our state DMV databases which includes sensitive information like our SS#'s to any official including law enforcement not only in any state but also Canada and Mexico or any other country at a later time. The database would not be able to know which official is corrupt and who is honest.One phrase, can you say identity theft !

The states object the Real ID Act, people with the National Conference of State Legislatures object, Gun Owners of America and Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership object and liberal groups like the ACLU object. When people on both sides of the political aisle object, you have to wonder that the legislation is not a good idea.
