Just to clarify, all men at the age of 18 are currently required to register by law. This just automates the process.

Whenever I look up a topic and the only "news" outlets covering a topic are right wing rags it's odd. Maybe waving the big, scary government overreach is coming for you is supposed to scare voters to trump, dunno?

But... but it was the house that passed it... the house is currently run by republicans...

That won't stop Republicans from blaming Democrats for it if it's unpopular with their base. Afterall, there were democrats present for the vote
