IMO this argument is almost moot. We don't object to standards for food, drugs, environment, labor and safety regulation, intra State Commerce and a host of other matters that extend beyond individual State boundaries yet the imposition of a standard for verifying the true and legal identity of an individual in a matter that clearly cross State lines is strenuously opposed by some.

I ask why in the full recognition of the validity of all of these other areas of Federal regulation. IMO this is another area that warrants the establishment of a uniform and effective standard and from, where I see it, the Federal Government is the only entity in a position to ensure that necessary standards are developed and enforced. What is the real rationale for opposition to this initiative?

We don't want a national ID card.
