Proffy-woffy, you also still seem to fail to grasp the concept that the
only thing the uniformity requirement requires is that the sovereign
taking the action must apply *their* rules equally. Collateral effects
don't matter.

What do I mean? Well, if your caught DUI in Texas, Texas may suspend
your privilege to drive in Texas. This happens whether you have a Texas
driver's license, a Tennessee license, or no license at all (yes, it
happens. It means you can't go apply for a license).

What Florida or Idaho or anyone else does as a result of that
determination does not in any way affect the constitutionality of
Texas's determination.

Here's another example. If a foreign citizen violates a state criminal
law, they face deportation by the federal government as a consequence of
being convicted of the crime. If a US citizen is convicted of the very
same crime, they're not under any circumstances going to be kicked out
of the country. Does the fact that the federal government treats these
people differently mean the state law is not uniform? Hardly.
