"But in Montana, members of the state House are refusing to cede
their driver's license authority to Washington. Last week, they
approved a bill that prohibits the adoption of federal driver's
license standards for noncommercial licenses.
On Capitol Hill, Rep. Richard Pombo, R-Calif., was one of eight
Republicans who voted against the bill."In our efforts to protect
our homeland and increase our border security we must move
forward with solid measures. At the same time, our individual civil
rights are nonnegotiable," Pombo said in a statement. "The
establishment of a national ID card, I believe, has the possibility of
violating those rights."
