"It is absolutely true that no State by December 31 will have a REAL ID-compliant document."

"The key point of authenticity of identification tools, in this case, drivers' licenses or ID cards: Identity theft is a tremendously large problem."

"We need secure identification to thwart potential terrorists."

"I opposed the REAL ID Act because I thought ultimately it laid out a very prescriptive, unworkable, and expensive process."
