This legislation is nothing more than an attempted an end run around our Constitution. It is hoped that the members of the Clarksville and Montgomery County state legislative delegation were united in opposing the Real ID Act. Having not heard or seen any comments from them on the matter, we are left in the blind. The ACLU is to be commended for its efforts to educate and advocate on our behalf for the rejection of the Real ID Act provisions. Showboat legislation has become too plentiful during this presidential administration. Civil liberties are seen as optional indulgences, not guaranteed provisions of personal freedom. Every Tennessean should read the Real ID Act and become familiar with its requirements. There will other attempts to implement this assault on our personal liberties. Be ever vigilant!
