Congressional approval for this sort of thing is about like the proverbial ham sandwich that prosecutors can get grand juries to indict.
Actually it wouldn't be. Compare and contrast national ID cards developed and authorized by Congress and the President, and then consider ID cards managed by the states but authorized by Congress and the President. To take your position seriously you need to provide a reasonable answer to the following question. Why would Congress/President not invoke a National ID card themselves while allowing the states to do it with their permission? Why would Congress/President hand power over to the states they didn't want to exercise themselves? Answer: They won't. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Day by day the Penguins are making me lose my mind. Bumper Sticker The Armadillo Group ,::////;::-.
