Part Two 
Why the Court Doesn't Worry About the Iowa Constitution
The Iowa Supreme Court opinion acknowledged Daniels' argument that
"Article I, section 22 of the Iowa Constitution provides: 'Foreigners who are, or may hereafter become residents of this state, shall enjoy the same rights in respect to the possession, enjoyment and descent of property, as native born citizens.'" 
The Court didn't bother to address the complaint that denial of driver's licenses violates this Constitutional requirement, because, the Court explained, the plaintiffs didn't explain what one had to do with the other! No kidding, that's what they said! Here's how they said it: 
"However, the [concerned Iowans] fail to examine this claim in their brief and fail to address any specific application of the language of section 22 to this case. See Iowa R. App. P. 6.14(1)(c). Accordingly, the [concerned Iowans] have waived [proved they don't care about] this argument, and we do not address it further." 
That's like the teacher telling the class "anyone who brought a weapon to school, I want you to bring it to me right now." Later she discovers Johnny had a gun but didn't bring it up. So she asks Johnny, "Didn't I tell you that if you had a weapon, to bring it to me right now?" And Johnny answers, "You never explained what your rule about 'a weapon' has to do with my possession of 'a gun', so I naturally assumed you had lost interest in the subject, and I forgot about it too."
