In the case of a national identification system, it might start off as a means of tracking COVID-19 cases in order to "safely" re-open the nation, but it will end up as a means of controlling the American people.
For those tempted to justify these draconian measures for whatever reasonfor the sake of their health, the economy, or national securityremember, you can't have it both ways.
You can't live in a constitutional republic if you allow the government to act like a police state.
You can't claim to value freedom if you allow the government to operate like a dictatorship.
You can't expect to have your rights respected if you allow the government to treat whomever it pleases with disrespect and an utter disregard for the rule of law.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, if you're inclined to advance this double standard because you believe you have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide, beware: there's always a boomerang effect.
