“.....they will be dealt with.”
If Spitzer were a Republican, and the subject something other than illegals, the left would be screaming facism and police state over those words. But now I suppose it is all moot, seeing how the Bush Administration has now (once again) spit in the citizens faces and cut a deal with Spitzer and the NY Dems. I previous commentor said something to the effect that unless the licenses for illegals have ILLEGAL stamped across them we are screwed...and I agree. The County Clerks are true hero’s, but before they were just fighting Sptzer, now they are fighting him and the Bush adminsitration. They have a lot more to be concerned about as far as being messed with.
The clerks wouldn't be fighting the Bush administration, how do you figure that? The administration has no authority over issuing licenses to illegals, according to REAL ID that's up to the states. And under NY law, which takes precedence Spitzer hasn't got the right to hand out licenses to anyone without a SSN or proof of ineligibility. There's a lawsuit that's still on and another one coming regarding that. In addition you'll probably see the NYS Senate refuse to fund any scheme that provides licenses to illegal aliens.
In my opinion fwiw I think we're in a much better position now than before to put the kibosh to the whole thing since Spitzer has postponed his scheme until next year.
