I don't understand how the Real ID Act fits in with emergency funding for the military. Why would the Republicans want to do that? The Real ID Act already passed in the House. Maybe the Senate will pass it, but if there isn't enough votes to pass it in the Senate, it's unlike that the Senate would let it get included in the final bill of the war funding bill. Where is the advantage in doing this? Why waste the time. What am I missing?
It doesn't fit at all. The house repubs want quick passage for various reasons. One is that insurance industry would like to prevent "bad" drivers from getting a license in a second state to avoid paying their bad driver fees. My view is the national ID needs a lot more debate.
