Montana Says No to Real ID, Passes Law to Deny It

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the good-lines-in-the-sand dept.

SoCalChris writes "Montana's governor signed a bill yesterday in defiance of the Real ID Act. House Bill 287 [PDF] requires the Montana Motor Vehicle Division to not implement the provisions of the Real ID Act, and to report to the governor any attempts by any agent or agency of the Department of Homeland Security to attempt to implement the bill. Montana is the first state to implement such a law."

    Yeah, heaven forbid have a unified source of identification in one database. Fight the man.

    I guess it doesn't matter when half the population doesn't have an ID to begin with, due to multiplying immigration.

    I guess some people don't really care if a truck driver that gets drunk and kills a few people while driving, is allowed to drive in Montana because he hasn't been revoked there. LET'S all get some DUI's and head over to MONTANA!! WOOOHOOO!!!

    You sound like a petulant teenager. The federal government has provisions for states to receive money. If there's an end run around the constitution it's that the money is going there at all; provisions for cutting it off are just fine.
