You fell into a trap, bud. You start with rare and utilitarian purposes that make sense, wait a handful of years for people to relax, then generalize the practice.

Of course they only did it in unusual cases at first. Now they are talking about nationwide contact tracing including a national immunity registry. Both ideas are no longer unusual under the law.

What they are still sliding the Overton window about is the national id. We already have REAL ID. We'll start with carrying your vaccination cards to get into bars and sporting events. State licensing agencies will add it to your REAL ID as a convenience in a few years. By then it won't be unusual.

Appreciate your reply. I'm not sure why someone would downvote me (not saying it was you) just for asking for thoughts on something that was troubling me.

I don't downvote anyone I am in a conversation with, and I rarely downvote unless someone is being an obvious troll or overall prick. I suspect some lefty saw the word "constitutional" and reacted. You and I know how much they hate that word.

We already have REAL ID.

Not in Michigan. When half wit closed the state, all REAL ID appointments were cancelled, even those scheduled after the initial closure.

at this time, we are unable to process REAL ID conversions.
