The Deputy Attorney General J. Tim Thomas's attempt to evade scrutiny in the Idaho Supreme Court has failed in the Larry Lewis v. Idaho Department of Transportation case.  He proposed that the Idaho Court allow the Department of Transportation to identify Mr. Lewis by an SSN even though Mr. Lewis claimed that he could not tolerate it due to his religious prohibitions.  The Court recently rejected the Attorney General's motion and ordered that the oral argument scheduled for June 8th to proceed. 

Herb Titus will argue on Larry Lewis's behalf.
