FLOGGER: CATO's Jim Harper Rakes CDT over the coals

Note from the Editor

We like Jim Harper.  He publishes piles of vile on National ID policy almost as much as we do. We've offered CATO an official spot on BTC as a columnist. Mainly because their rhetoric rolls up on our wire anyway.  As a social experiment, we're publishing this as the first official CATO column by Jim Harper.  We gave it a working title: FLOGGER: National ID bashing by CATO Policy brand, Jim Harper. If they pitch garbage at us, we'll take it off. {FYI for CATO: Your s**t gets published here anyway!}

FLOGGER : National ID bashing by CATO policy brand, Jim Harper

Harper begs the question of CDT,

"Do we already have a National ID?"

CDT {Center for Democracy & Technology} is a sophisticated Washington, D.C. operation. It is supposed to understand these dynamics. I can’t give it the pass that outsiders to Washington might get. By committing to compromise rather than any principle, and by lending its name to the Markle Foundation Task Force report, CDT gave credibility to a bad idea — the creation of a national ID.
