#1 Said Pochoda, 'I can guarantee that 25 percent of airline travelers will not be banned from the purchasing of airline tickets in 2009.'

No, they just won't be able to use their Arizona (or other scofflaw states) drivers license as identification. A passport should suffice.

#2 'I can guarantee that 25 percent of airline travelers will not be banned from the purchasing of airline tickets in 2009.'

As things are going, I suspect 25% of potential airline travelers won't be able to pay the airline body weight fee for traveling 4th class, strapped to the wings.

#3 I no longer think the US should waterboard terrorism suspects. I think we should just make them fly coach instead.

#4 In so doing, she called it an unfunded federal mandate that would stick states such as Arizona with a multibillion-dollar bill for the cost to develop and implement the series of new fraud-proof identification cards.

I understand about unfunded federal mandates but just cannot believe that it would be a multibillion dollar proposition in Arizona. Just cannot believe that is anything other than the most despicable type of political hyperbole. But, apart from that, how much money would the state save if they didn't have to educate, incarcerate and hospitalize illegal aliens?

#5 And the ACLU concern about privacy is 100% pure, unadulterated red herring. Between the Social Security Administration and the IRS they already know where you live, where you work and how much money you make. They know more about the car you drive than you do. So what difference does a Real ID make?

But the question isn't what difference a Real ID makes. The question is: What are they trying to hide?

#7 But while the Feds cannot fund this, the DHS can fund the new and improved TSA uniform badges that resemble real poolece badges so the sheeple will comply better.

#8 You know, 38 or so of the States had no trouble implementing the Real ID law. I suspect the Dems in the other States are upset at the disenfranchisement of two of their prime voting blocs, the illegals and the dead.

#9 that along with the continual loss of vote for felons knocks a leg or two out of their support stool
