Daily Kos: State of the Nation: "I too believe the word is overused, but you cannot read the provisions of Senate 1261 and not be alarmed. Left and right are coming together on this one. Groups from the ACLU to Sen. John Sununu are sounding the alarm. It is a non-partisan issue which strikes at the heart of what it means to be an American."
Matthew Dunlap, Maine Secretary of State, puts it concisely:
"The Real ID Act is not real. It is a bizarre policy fiction with murky goals. Once billions of public treasure is expended and the government has complete control over who you say you are, and the next Mohammed Atta would still be able to obtain a state driver's license, it will be too late to reverse course..."
