New York State Governor Eliot Spitzer is an ambitious man. He used this tenure as New York State Attorney General create a wave popular support which propelled his to state governor.
Surely Spitzer would like to use the state governorship to propel himself to national office. Spitzer won election is a landslide and assumed offcer with approval rating in the stratussphere.
Alas for poor Eliot, then one direction to go from the top, and that is down., which is where Spitzer has gone.
A smart ambitious leftarded governor would like to achieve two goals. One to give illegal aliens the same license as legal New York State residents. Two, would be allow state residents to use their driver licenses as federal ID for such purposes as boarding air flights or crossing borders.
Sadly for Spiter the two goal are mutually exclusive. A license issued to illegals is worthless as a federal ID. That is Spiter can achieve either goal, but only at the expense of the other goal.
Spitzer has alienated [1] the aliens. If Eliot thinks the aliens are mad, just wait to see what would happen if if tried to nullify the New York State driver’s license as form of ID.
