BIDEN: And we'll be faced with equally consequential decisions in the 21st century.
Can a microscopic tag be implanted in a person's body to track his every movement? There's actual discussion about that.
You will rule on that -- mark my words -- before your tenure is over.
Can brain scans be used to determine whether a person's inclined toward criminality or violent behavior?
You will rule on that.
And, Judge, I need to know whether you will be a justice who believes that the constitutional journey must continue to speak to these consequential decisions or that we've gone far enough in protecting against government intrusion into our autonomy into the most personal decisions we make.

I mean come on, who actually believes that people will accept microchipping in the first place anyway. I just don't see it happening.

Paying less taxes!!?
So you're saying that there will be discrimination between people who get chipped and don't. And you think the US citizens will let just that kind of extreme discriminatory law to be passed by the authorities.

Okay, we'll just have to agree to disagree. Hypothetically speaking will yourself accept the chip?

Ive ranted on this for pages and pages before, so long story short:
instead of mandatory chips, anyone who gets chipped will pay less taxes, get better prices at wal-mart, and will be allowed to skip by lines at the airport. Then when a certain threshold of people have gotten chips, it won't be so unusual, and other will follow suit just to follow the herd.
Now can you see how people would start getting chipped voluntarily?
