Does the Real ID act contain a Constitution-busting Trojan horse?

I found this via Wil Wheaton dot net. I haven't seen it anywhere else. Is it true? If the article is accurate, then this is just overwhelmingly ridiculous. Is this even still America? How is it even legal to sneak shit into must pass legislation that is completely unrealted to that legislation? And why wouldn't the Democrats make a big fuss about some shit like this?
