"For a man who never fails to wrap himself in the constitution, its certainly interesting to see you try and get your state legislation to blatently violate it"

Where is it written in the Constitution that we have to give drivers' licenses to ILLEGAL aliens? Wait a minute; perhaps a definition of "ILLEGAL" is in order.

Illegal: prohibited by law.

Now since our laws are based in the Constitution and by the very definition of "illegal", these people are not even supposed to BE here, tell me again how it is a violation of the Constitution to deny them LEGAL drivers' licenses.

Because alien status is a protected class under our consitution and any state distiction based on that status will fail if challeged in court. See Prop 187.
