How does she stand on the issue? Well, when I tried to search for this, I found it difficult. And to be honest, this proved difficult for most of the candidates. But I finally did find two noteworthy things. I will post them here lest they magically disappear…
This is from News.com BTW… They interviewed Hillary… Err… Celery…
Interviewer: The Department of Homeland Security has proposed extensive Real ID requirements restricting which state ID cards can be accepted at federal buildings and airports. Do you support those regulations as written, would you want to repeal Real ID, or would you prefer something in between?
Hillary Clinton: “I believe we need to seriously re-examine Real ID and make changes that take into account legitimate concerns raised by states. I have long expressed concern with the Real ID Act, dating back to its initial consideration in the Senate in the spring of 2005. Had there been an opportunity to properly consider this legislation, it would have been revealed that the Real ID Act imposes dramatic new burdens on our states and substantially changes our immigration and asylum laws in ways that deserve critical examination.
Among other things, Real ID’s driver’s license provisions impose a massive unfunded mandate on states, while ignoring our broken immigration system. But there never was an opportunity to consider it properly. Senate Republicans brought this legislation up for a vote without holding hearings or engaging in serious debate, and by tacking it on to an emergency spending bill for our troops. By employing these tactics, Republicans revealed that they were determined to bulldoze this law through without serious discussion.
I support a comprehensive review of Real ID to determine whether its various ID provisions make sense in light of our very real security needs and the challenges facing our states.”
This is odd. She’s not for or against, eh..? :) Well. A little searching goes a long way…
On 07/26/2007 She voted YES on States having to spend 300 Million+ on implementing this… While just a month later, 08/03/2007 She voted NO for Foreign Intelligence Acquisition…
So, she wants you and I to pay 300 mil to have us spied on, but she doesn’t want our spies abroad looking for real terrorists. W.T.F.
She states: “I believe we need to seriously re-examine Real ID and make changes that take into account legitimate concerns raised by states.”
Really? Why would she vote on the states having to spend 300 Million then?
Oh, explain this one, too… How is it she votes twice in the same day for the same issue and gives an opposite vote? Changed her mind? In reviewing it, I see that she votes YES on nearly every bill that would require the Government to siphon funds from us, and NO to real human rights issues. In most of those, she didn’t vote at all. Ah, Celery.

Now you can see for yourself… I am not opposed to having a woman president. Just this woman. Next candidate, please?
