AZ goes yet another step forward.

The AZ Senate already sent a memorial to the US Congress on the onorous RealID act, now see this "strike everything" bill that passed the Committee of the Whole, and is headed down the track at full speed!\

I freakin love Arizona!

Too bad I'm moving to WA. Methinks Queen Christine would veto such a bill before it even had finished coming out of the printer.

GO ARIZONA!!! Hopefully the states can fully crush Real ID before it can begin to be implemented...

 

[carlrodd]

kudos to AZ. the realID is no different than an 'assault weapon' ban. weapons bans are proposed in the name of reducing crime, and the realID act is proposed in the name of national security. both do nothing but completely disregard the basic liberties of american citizens, and the politicians that support them know this.

so how's the job market for software developpers in Arizona?

 

[fourays2]

hopefully our uber-left wing governor will be behind this.

Too bad I'm moving to WA. Methinks Queen Christine would veto such a bill before it even had finished coming out of the printer.

Certainly, but then it is unlikely she'll be governor after the 2008 elections, and there's a very good chance we'll get Republican Dino Rossi - whom the majority of people in this Democrat state believe won in 2004.

CR

 

[sumpnz]

Well, they'll be two more votes for Rossi (or at least not for Gregoir - I don't know enough about Rossi to say for certain whether I'd vote for him or not) in the state of WA by then.

 

[MD_Willington]

Well we can't swear in until summer 2010, so no help getting rid of her from me and the wife...

 

[denfoote]

It still has to get passed our wonderful Democratic Governor!!
