SA>In a chilling act more reminiscent of the now defunct Soviet Union or
SA>the Nazi regime of Adolph Hitler, the United States Congress passed
SA>legislation yesterday that requires the States to surrender their
SA>regulatory rights over driver's licenses and birth certificates to
SA>The Department of Homeland Security.

This is in violation of the 10th Ammendment to the U.S. Constitution.  I
would not expect it to hold up in court, if challenged.

SA>President Bush lobbied hard for these provisions, only objecting when
SA>Senator Sensenbrenner attempted to require these same provisions for
SA>illegal aliens but which the President opposed.  This provision was
SA>dropped from the final bill.

Interesting.  It was illegal aliens, who overstayed visas & learned to fly
airplanes, that caused all this trouble to begin with.
