NPR has a short, 4-minute interview with the Governor of Montana discussing the inanity of the Federal Real ID program.

♦ Montana Governor on ‘Real ID’ Act

Basically, he…no, the entire Montana State Legislature! is calling the Federal government on their bluff. The Feds are demanding that the states adhere to any new policy that Homeland Security thinks is going to make us safer or else people from the dissenting state won’t have the same rights and freedoms other Americans enjoy.

The Governor explains why it’s a sham, it’s manipulative, won’t work. (He doesn’t get into what most people think is the real reason for the Federal Real ID–and that’s Federal controlled identification records and assumption of greater control and power over citizens in general.)
