"So why do we not want each state to require the same information before issuing a license and why do we not want each state to issue a license that is not easily copied or faked?"
First, anything can be faked.
And the reason we do not want Federal control of local decisions, is because it stops your local government legislative body (the one closest and most answerable to your home) from reflecting and enacting into law, YOUR SPECIFIC WANTS AND IDEAS about how you and your family will be governed under civil law and transfers it (against Constitutional intent) to the Federal Legislative branch which is farthest from your home, and less answerable to you. What that does is lessen the power of us to guide government as the Founders intended and set forth in writing within the Constitution, to maintain control of government, through ...." A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND FOR THE PEOPLE."
You see, we are supposed to hold ultimate control of all aspects of the Legislative, Judicial, and Executive branches, IN ADDITION TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT. Keep in mind, the most important duty of the Federal Government, is to protect our shores against invasion.
As you can readily see with the ongoing invasion of our shores by 12 million illegal aliens, invading across our Southern Border as you read this, the Federal Government is more than inept, at fulfilling its duty to do so.
(If you read Article I, Section VIII, Clause four, fifteen, and sixteen, and then read Article IV's final clause, you will see exactly what I mean when I say "Federal Government" is inept at fulfilling its duty to do so)
Imagine, if your entire life is controlled by the Federal Government workers typing in your "number" incorrectly, and your "number" being corrupted with information from another "number" by a government employee with the same exact attitude and efficiency you receive at the Social Security office, or IRS office.
You may remember the Senate hearings on the IRS outrages held about five years ago. Believe me, you would not want that level of performance controlling the determination of WHO YOU ARE, and what you have been accused of doing, due to a typo in a Governmental Database. If you have had the misfortune to ever had a CSR somewhere screw up an entry into your Credit Report at either TransUnion, Equifax, or Experian, (which you will never, ever, get resolved) then it becomes much more spooky to realize you can become permanantly labeled anything.
P.S. I just want to say, I appreciate (very much) your service to the citizens of our Nation. It is guys like you who will be the only chance of keeping the Representative Republic Ben Franklin challenged us all to keep.
