Well it looks like the Real ID act will definetly pass now (368-58 in the house). It will pass through that military spending bill. Please realize that both parties failed here. The Republicans sneaked it through the appropriations bill, and the Democrats went ahead and voted for it. This is the kind of thing I've been trying to get at lately. The Republicans are doing the wrong thing, and the Democrats are at the least complacent with it. Only
57 Democrats voted against it.
When will the Democratic base realize that its leaders aren't doing anything for it? They cave in on almost every major issue. Then you have the Republicans proposing this type of Orwelian legislation? Supporting either major party at this point seems foolish to me.
