I also don't like it because it's a shady ornament bill tacked onto an unrelated war spending bill. I agree we need to standardize identification, but I fear it may be to draconian in existance...

That's one HUGE problem right there. I don't know anyone in their right mind, repub or dem, who would agree that that's a good idea. It's scary as hell to see our lawmakers wandering down that path.
Not to mention, these federal IDs are being paid for by making the states foot the bill instead of the federal gov. That's a terrible idea.
