NPR on REAL ID

  • The Real ID Act Raises Privacy Issues (Morning Edition, May 6, 2005)


  • A Sneaky Approach to the Question of National IDs (All Things Considered, May 4, 2005)


  • Impact of Standardizing License Requirements in U.S. (Day to Day, May 3, 2005)


  • As usual, I disagree with Daniel Schorr. The problem is not that REAL ID is a "half-measure" that may not go far enough.

    I do, however, agree with Schorr that Americans should have had the chance to fight over this bill fair and square.

    The Republicans acted in an under-handed way. And the double-speak of Rep. Sensenbrenner (and other supporters of REAL ID) doesn't help the country.

    So, again I ask: "What's a conservative to do with the Republicans?"

    Conservatives should be conserving all the freedoms in the Bill of Rights--not undermining them.
