And on what basis
by degsme

And on what Constitutional basis are you going to compel me, a born citizen, to carry biometric id? Under the US Constitution and the incorporated Common Law, as a born citizen I have the right to

  • Freely associate with whomever I wish to - IOW I have a right to contract with whomever I desire with NO ID requirement enforcible by the government
  • Freely travel wherever I wish internally with no ID requirement - as long as I don't drive or pilot (both licensed forms of transportation)
  • Freely petition my government with no explicit proof that I am a citizen

Now I've given you a link to the US Constitution, so finding the clause that empowers the government to compell me to carry biometric ID should be trivial for you....
