How REAL ID already violates the Constitution, Grok:
The Tenth Amendment is the constitutional provision most commonly cited as being violated by the REAL ID Act of 2005. This amendment states: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Critics argue that REAL ID effectively commandeers state governments by imposing federal standards on driver’s licenses and IDs—a power traditionally reserved to the states—without providing funding, turning state-issued documents into a de facto national ID system. …
Other concerns, such as impacts on the right to travel (tied to the Fourteenth Amendment’s Privileges or Immunities Clause) or privacy (Fourth Amendment), are raised but less directly framed as core violations. As of November 1, 2025, REAL ID enforcement is fully active, with non-compliant IDs no longer accepted for domestic flights or federal facilities.
