Everything with government doesn’t have to be slow, but congress wrote this bill so that two successive presidents would have to keep pursuing it.
I wanted to confirm this because it was so cool.
The main hit I found was a National Geographic article (paywall it seems) from Jul 18, 2012
Did you know that you’re allowed to write all the letters in the word F-U-C-K on the internet?
So your options were re-elect the team who are following the process but started late and put and end to federal prosecutions while he was in office, or re-elect the guy whose last AG was 100% against any reform attempts and actively prosecuted offenders.
But no, go ahead and tell me how Trump was the better option here. This is why the republicans win. Everything on the left is a purity test where we endlessly belittle our politicians for not delivering everything all at once on day one, while the right makes plans that span decades to take power. Look at the Federalist Society. It took them decades to arrange for the moment where they would have decisive control over the judicial branch so they could crime with impunity. But tell me how Biden not completing a five year process in four years was too slow.
