   Invoking a national I.D. argument is specious; a driver’s license is completely voluntary.

Again, the amazing part to me is that this is even an issue of contention.

Totally on the same page with John--driving’s a priviledge, not a right, and getting a drivers license, as it stands today in many areas, is getting your picture taken such that when and if you get pulled over, the officer compares your ID to you, to make sure you are licenced to drive--if there’s a veil in the picture, it could be *anyone* under the veil, either in the pic or behind the wheel.

Religious freedom is a legitimate right in your church and on your property, but religious freedom ends when other people’s safety gets involved--and veiled licences is inherently unsafe.

Anyway, that’s just my first impression.
