Nevada abolishes Real ID

Well, this human experimentation lasted all of 4 months.

Nevada lawmakers had repeatedly rejected Bush's scuzzo Real ID program. They even urged Congress to repeal Real ID completely. But several months ago, fascist Gov. Jim Gibbons barked down an "emergency" order to bring the state into compliance with Real ID - making Nevada one of very, very, very few states to comply.

Trouble for the Gibbony One is that such regulations expire after 120 days - and lawmakers opted not to consider continuing Real ID.

This isn't over though. The Gibbons regime has vowed to seek legislation to restore the hated Real ID by next spring. Uh, Jim? Have you seen your poll numbers? You're not gonna still be in office next spring!
