Ours is a Nation of Laws...

... except those inconvenient ones that keep us from enforcing laws that are more important.

The REAL ID act would place the Secretary of Homeland Security above the law, and allow him to waive any law that he, in his sole discretion, conflicts with national security. It would also eliminate judicial review for this power.

In all likelihood, being a Federal law, it would also allow him to waive any state law.

I'm sure he'll only use this power for good.
