It's called "trickle down philosophics." The power you have personally to enact laws resides within your capactiy to vote. Get it? Am I mistaken in assuming you would vote for a person who would by law oppose ID in a public, academic, scientific context? My County Comissioners must all be Bible thumpers or I will not vote for them.
If I don't vote for a bible thumper I am voting against ID?
