Us, the "WE THE PEOPLE" who are tired of leaders who think they know what is best for us, even if it is against our wishes and our best interest. We still need to keep hammering Spitzer to recall the 23,000 Driver's Licenses he allowed to be handed out WITHOUT the expiration date of the person's LEGAL stay here, in the United States. We also need to force our Federal leaders to follow the lead of the FBI in NOT recognizing the Mexican Matricular Consular Card. That ID is worthless in Mexico. Anyone who attempts to VOTE, obtain a Driver's License and other common things like opening a bank account IN MEXICO, well, they will NOT be allowed. You see, that id is not accepted in Mexico as a valid form of ID because Mexico knows and understands that they do not have a system in place to verify the true identity of those persons that are illegally residing in the United States. So, if Mexico will not accept it, why in the world would we allow our states to accept it? Keep hitting the phones, emails and visits to your leaders. Remember, Illegals can drive here legally with the driver's license issued by their home country or can easily obtain an International one. The reason he backed down?

Democrat Senators were, in 2004, the folks beating on President Bush to pass a so-called '9/11' bill. Yet Rep. Sensenbrenner one-up'd them with the Real ID Act of (May) 2005. Even before then, New York, under Pataki, implemented the rule that licenses for legal aliens here(such as those on a work or student visa or someone seeking asylum) would expire at in one year or at the end date of their visa, whichever was sooner. This complied with a major July 2004 recommendation of the 9/11 Commission. The 19 hijackers had acquired 57 licenses and IDs and nearly all of them expired well after their visas did (Mohammed Atta was issued a Florida license that expired in September 2007). Since then, a coalition of open-border Democrats and Libertarian privacy advocates have undermined 'The Real ID Act of 2005.' In February 2007,Senators Akaka, Tester, Leahy, and Sununu introduced a bill to repeal the Act.

"hiding" behind executive privelege is sometimes necessary. If our current POTUS didn't "hide" there sometimes, I'm afraid he and his staff would spend 100% of their time testifying. "Hiding" is not always an indication of guilt. My suspicion though is Spitzer is hiding for exactly the reason you suggest - there is fire behind the smoke. nbarry – careful. “hiding” behind executive privelege is sometimes necessary.
