Late Night: You Ain't Going Nowhere (New Passport Rules)

New passport rules went into effect today. You'll need one to fly to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda, and to re-enter the U.S. from those countries when traveling by air.

Beginning in January, the passport rule will extend to travel by sea and land, including automobiles.

And if you're behind on your child support? Forget about it.

Here's how to apply for a passport if you don't have one.

    Passports vs. Child Support: Unconstitutional? (none / 0) (#1)

    There is a discussion here,
    GlennSacks.com -- Passport Rules Unfair to Child Support Debtors
    , of why these passport rules are in general unfair.

    And , Cuba
    Right to Travel: The Constitutional Case, here
    is a legal discussion that I don't understand about why it is probably unconstitutional.  It deals with the right to travel going back to the Magna Carta, due process and the fifth amendment, and prior court cases.

    What a hassle...... (none / 0) (#2)
