Montana Attorney General Tim Fox

Montana Attorney General Tim Fox joins Tom Egelhoff for a phone interview on the Morning Show on Thursday 1/26 at 8:00AM.

Montana has run out of waivers and options for resisting the Real ID Act first passed in 2005.

DHS has declared the following 23 states to be compliant with REAL ID: Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

"Constitutionally, the federal government lacks any authority to create a national ID.

But the feds won’t let something like constitutional limitations stop them from doing what they want. Congress simply ignored its delegated powers and implemented national ID standards anyway." (Source)
