"I don’t give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."

"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!"

Federal ID plan raises privacy concerns - CNN.com

Federal ID plan raises privacy concerns - CNN.com: "The cards would be mandatory for all 'federal purposes,' which include boarding an airplane or walking into a federal building, nuclear facility or national park, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff told the National Conference of State Legislatures last week. Citizens in states that don't comply with the new rules will have to use passports for federal purposes."

I did not realize national parks were included in the real ID proposal. We will have to show ID to enter a park? How ridiculous. I am sure that terrorists feel that Old Faithful or the Grand Canyon are high-value targets.
