[That being said, why not go over and meet these girls the old-fashioned way?]

I am already over "there" and I already have a girlfriend.

That is not the point.

This is a major rights take-away and, yes, I don't see how it is even a little bit constitutional.

Are there lawyers who can check on that? I am sitting in a hotel in Denmark now. If the desk clerk introduces me to her friend...is she breaking a US law because I didn't submit US government paperwork on my background?

This sounds sick. And yet the President signed the law happily because it was tucked inside another law and because, apparently, Republicans don't care about the rights of single males.

The free speech problems with this law seem pretty severe. What you'd need to challenge it is a test case; preferably a man with no criminal record whose only "crime" is his lack of reporting. That would be an interesting case, because it would pit constitutional freedoms against the disturbing deference to federal government that many Supreme Court justices have been showing recently. Assuming the case makes it that far.

Correction, the Government doesn't care about the rights of males, period.

I'll change my mind when we gain the right to demand our children NOT be aborted without our consent.

Your hypothetical question indicates you have not understood this law.
