Slashdot | Real-ID Passes U.S. Senate 100-0
Some juicy quotes from Slashdot members:

This is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause.

The US was founded on state rights, hence “The United States of America”. If you don’t like a state’s rules, move to another state. The federal government is heading toward “monoculturing” the US. Pretty soon we’ll be “Former United States of America”.
I like that last one, except I think our name will be “The People’s Democratic Republic of America.” And if you don’t get the irony in that name, go look up another country with a similar name.
Here’s another good one:

Voting Public: Hey, you can’t establish national ID card! I don’t want to have to show my papers everywhere I go. What happened to States Rights? What slimy politician tacked this on to a bill guaranteed to pass anyway? WTF does RealID have to do with troops in Iraq? What is this, Nazi Germany?
Bush & Co: *clears throat* Terrorism.
Voting Public: Jawohl, Mein Fuhrer! *sound of goosestepping and sheep falling into line*
Are you outraged yet???
