Does the Real ID act contain a Constitution-busting Trojan horse? http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20050509-4886.html
"You can read more on the tinfoil hat implications of this here if you're interested, but I'll sum it up for you: Congress has crafted a completely unprecedented provision that guts the principle of judicial review by granting the DHS secretary complete and total immunity from the courts when it comes to the construction of "barriers and roads" in this one specific geographical region, and they've buried this provision inside a national ID card act which is itself attached to a large military appropriations bill that no Congressperson in their right mind would vote against (money for the troops and all that)." I'm actually fine with a national ID in principle. What I don't like it all the legal loopholes and privacy tracking issues that this specific proposed ID system includes. -Kevin On 5/9/05, Dana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > and just think, it's only been a year or so since I was called a > Luddite for worrying about this.
