I hear you but, how does having each State determining on it's own, things that pass freely through and between all States, help the situation? States Rights is a valid concern but when the actions of one State directly impact the operation of another, the States need to get together with a coordinated, systematic approach. In this regard the Federal Gov't can serve a role as a facilitator of this needed coordination and cooperation between the States.

Another example of something that has these attributes is voting processes and I applaud efforts to establish National voting standards.

"States Rights is a valid concern but when the actions of one State directly impact the operation of another, the States need to get together with a coordinated, systematic approach."

Of course, that is the precise role of the Federal government. But their lawful ability to force States to comply with every federal agenda is limited. For the discerning individual, it's easy to see that the Federal government knows full well they cannot lawfully force the individual States to comply with this veiled national ID system, and that is exactly why they resort to twisting arms by threatening to withhold needed funds. What they can't accomplish Constitutionally they sometimes acheive through threats or sanctions. With an ignorant or naive citizenry, the few will always find a way to usurp authority and control or oppress the many. When will we ever learn?
