President Donald Trump - J.D. Vance Administration

So how does this id change any of those state laws?

If photo IDs are currently available then how does this put them in people's hands who don't want one?
Real ID can be used to secure elections like I mentioned with the photo ID. If the states do not want it, so be it.

Like I mentioned, the Real ID was initiated after 9/11 when it was discovered that 18 of the 19 hijackers held a total of 17 driver’s licenses and 13 state-issued IDs between them.

Recently a lady boarded a flight to Europe without a boarding pass, got past security and the gate agent. No ID is going to fix incompetence.
 
Thankfully this is being appealed ...

From the article:

A federal judge ordered the Trump Environmental Protection Agency to release $20 billion in climate grants that it has withheld, a major blow to the administration’s efforts to stop what it has called the improper awarding of money to nonprofit green groups.

District Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington, D.C., issued a preliminary injunction late Tuesday preventing the EPA from “unlawfully suspending or terminating” billions of dollars in climate money from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which the Trump administration has said distributed the funds without proper oversight.

The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, passed by Democrats and signed by former President Joe Biden, established the fund and provides hundreds of billions of dollars in clean energy subsidies.

But what does the real id do that current cards can't? That's the question you keep refusing to answer

So can all states current drivers license or state ID cards. This does nothing to help "election integrity." It's just a bizarre justification for this to be enforced.

I have answered it multiple times. For elections, it brings a photo ID to the table for voting. Over 50% of the states require no photo ID. Implementing this enhances election security.

I even found you an article that might help you as well. In this article, it mentions that it is not a DB, but a network between states so we can drop the federal DB stuff.

You have explained nothing. Photo ids already exist and are available at the same place. This ID has absolutely nothing to do with what a state requires when voting

How does this specific ID enhance election security in a way that no other photo ID can?

I think the argument is that the stricter verification process and the more difficult to forge Real IDs make the IDs presented more reliable than IDs that might be easier to forge or don’t require the verification to obtain.

Not sure I agree with that, just like I am not sure how real ID makes flying any safer, but I think that is the argument.

Frankly, I think the gubmint just wants more facial recognition data points.
 
It's just slightly harder to obtain which means slightly less people will vote which is their entire goal.
Nah. Real ID was passed in the mid-2000s, purportedly as a security upgrade in the wake of 9/11.

It was supposed to take effect in ‘08 or ‘09, but government efficiency, as always, led to delay after delay.

I don’t think election security had anything to do with the legislation regarding Real ID, but I am open to being shown that I am wrong.

Elections had little to do with the original legislation 20 yrs ago but it's definitely going to be part of the R playbook to enact strict voter ID laws in the future....

To board planes. Not vote. Last I checked there isn't a constitutional right to board planes

Perhaps, but that may be because people otherwise aren't getting it.

I haven't gotten it, and don't plan to. I will just travel with my passport. If Real ID is required for voting, I will get it.

I think the reason is more than voting. I can't figure it out, mainly because I can't figure out what Real ID does for anything, except for giving Government more data points. Which is why I didn't want it to begin with.

The data point thing is an interesting topic. Is an ultimate goal to give these data points to defense companies like PLTR? Is that why Rs are overwhelmingly in favor of it?

Next time your drivers license is up for renewal you have to get one. At least that's my understanding

Uh, did you read my post? I said I didn't think it had anything to do with election security and nowhere have I said Real ID should be necessary to vote. I simply stated that I don't believe electoral security was a consideration at the time the legislation was passed. If I am wrong, please feel free to show me.

Also, just for edification related to air travel, the Supreme Court has recognized a Constitutional right to interstate travel as part of the "freedom of movement" provided to all citizens. Supporting that Constitutional Right, Congress passed a law (back when they used to do such things, before the Imperial Presidency), that guarantees citizens a right to fly:


So, while air travel may not be Constitutionally protected, it is statutorily protected.

That is not to say is is definitively NOT Constitutionally protected also. There are some scholars who think that the right to travel, in modern society, encompasses a Constitutional right to fly (subject to "reasonable restrictions," of course.)

If you have any interest, feel free to check out this journal entry: https://scholar.smu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1060&context=jalc

Sorry if I Geeked out here and ruined a chance an electronic slug-fest; I just find those tiresome and prefer good discussion and debate.

Cheers,

2031?

We will all be dead by then. Global Warming. Or Cooling.

Or Russia. Or Israel. Or Trump. Or something like that.

Will they bury me with a passport? Or do I need Real ID for that, too? 😁 🤪
