As of today, only two states have completely ignored the DHS requirement to file an extension. Citizens of their states, may, in the future, have difficulties in traveling, or upon attempting to enter a federal building.
It seems to me that the rebelion of the states, and the ensuing civilian war some 200 years ago was primarily fashioned upon the principle that the thirteen states of the new england colonies would no longer accept blanket edicts from the distant egalitarian ruler, who would pass on its own laws and rulings upon a smaller and theoreticly independent government, without thought of the cost such restrictions might have upon those states.
Mark your calendars and listen to Mark Sanford, Republican Governor of South Carolina and Jon Tester, Democratic U.S. Senator from Montana, as they talk about why they oppose the federal governments attempts to mandate a national ID and surveillance network at the Cato Institute this Wednesday, May 7, 2008. As you should know, South Carolina is one of those two states who have refused to even file for the extension.
