I cannot support the measure in its current form.

We keep doing the same thing hoping for different results.

This bill increases the penalties for trafficking in counterfeit drugs, specifically.

I think one of the ways to get the ball over the goal on this--and I realize as the author of the bill that this is a complicated bill--is, first of all, states need guidance.

I believe it is not effective at this time.

Is DHS going to extend the deadline again?

I think the privacy issues are severe, and I think that this adds to the opposition to this massive plague of voter ID laws.

Okay. Now, my final question is there has been a disconnect between DHS and the states, both in this Administration and in the Bush Administration on this subject.

Well, the law was signed in 2005 by former President Bush. Did it take DHS 6 years to start doing the guidance and now we are about ready to get to it?

I would be happy to invite her, and I invite the gentleman from Michigan to help us prod her into following the law that was passed.

Well, in my high school civics class, I learned in a democratic society that laws that are passed by a majority vote of the legislature and signed either by the President or the governor are the law.
