Except that the time it takes for these processes to play out means that that the Congress that writes a law and the Congress that has the “ability to update” are rarely the same Congress and often controlled by entirely different parties.
It’s good that it stalls in that condition, IMO. I’d expect unaligned moves in Congress to cause social strife.
Can we remedy things at a lower level before we push a fix through and apply it to half the country that doesn’t want it?
