Slashdot | Real-ID Passes U.S. Senate 100-0<\/a><\/p>\n

Some juicy quotes from Slashdot members:
\nsgant<\/a><\/p>\n

This is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bigby<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe 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”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s another good one:
\njdreed1024<\/a><\/p>\n

Voting Public: <\/strong>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?
\nBush & Co:<\/strong> *clears throat* Terrorism.
\nVoting Public:<\/strong> Jawohl, Mein Fuhrer! *sound of goosestepping and sheep falling into line*<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Are you outraged yet???<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
