Further follow-up: http://www.panynj.gov/hisframe.HTM "On April 30, 1921, The Port of New York Authority was established as the first of its kind in the Western Hemisphere and the first interstate agency created under a clause of the Constitution permitting compacts between states. One area of jurisdiction was called the "Port District," a bistate region of about 1,500 square miles centered on the Statue of Liberty. The name was changed to The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in 1972 to identify more accurately our status as a bistate agency." Looks as though Jimbo now needs a remedial Constitution-reading course... S a n d y

Inchoate pontificated:
Fortunately it [state motor vehicle authorities creating a national identification system] will be found unconstitutional, states can't make treaties and such between themselves.
Gee, that'll be news to the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, the Mid-America Regional Council and a plethora of other interstate compacts, authorities and organizations.
(Where does he get this stuff?)

If the law of gravity is fundamental, why can't it be changed by Constitutional amendment since it's the primary authority?
