As of July 1, in addition to Vermont, four other states’ IDs will face extra scrutiny from police, as they may provide forms of identification to applicants who do not give proof of citizenship or legal status:

Delaware
Connecticut
Hawaii
Rhode Island
The law directs Florida police officers to write a ticket to anyone they pull over who has what is now recognized as an invalid license.

Meatball Ron is like 0 & 12 in Federal courts. There should be a federal three strikes law on signing unconstitutional bills into law.

I know that it’d be a dangerous precedent, but it’d be nice if Congress could pass a single-instance law requiring the replacement of a state government that is clearly operating outside the Constitution.
