Outstanding essay!!! One can only hope that some semblance of sanity returns to our nation's legislative body. Not to belabor the point, but this nonsense has gone on far too long.

Not a chance. Neo-cons love violating our right to privacy.

Would any of the buffoons that passed that abomination ever tell us exactly how many lives were saved by it? Put another way: Will they tell us the number of people that were successfully stopped from committing acts of "terrorism"? Will they tell us exactly how many people were successfully captured for acts of "terrorism" due to the passage of the Real ID Act? This would only be individuals attempting to commit acts of "terrorism" who weren't dupes set up by the Foolish Bucket of Idiots (FBI) or other government entities.

Any guesses? Bueller?

If you read this far, I think you know what my answer to the previous questions is. Not just no, but Hell No!
