The Supreme Court agreed Monday to decide whether people picked up on immigration violations also can face charges of identity theft if they use Social Security and other identification numbers that belong to others.

Doesn't this seem like a "no-brainer" to the rest of y'all?

To be devil’s advocate...what if I just made up a SS number and put it on an application?? How can I be charged with ID theft without someone proving that I new the person that the number actually belonged if I made it up in my head? Under that scenario, if I filled in some web form and used a fake email address and it turned out to be a real address of someone else, I would be a criminal??? Not quite.
