I twice vetoed the photo drivers license bill because I thought it was an infringement on liberty. But the legislature overrode me. I accepted it. and today. after 9/11. I agree it would be wise for our country. with a combination of terrorism and the difficulties within immigration. to have more secure identification cards. The question Is. which one? Then suddenly. in 2005. along came an appropriations bill for our troops. and In the middle of it. the House of Representatives stuck something called the REAL ID Act. which set minimum standards for State drivers licenses as an effort to deter terrorists from easily obtaining that form of identification.
