> Do you believe that legislatures weren't trying their best, Common sense would dictate that legislatures can't "try their best". It's a collection of people that have vastly different motives and reasons for being there. They aren't a team with a common vision and a common goal (e.g. win the game through a series of plays they've already practiced), even if they are in the same political party. Neither party is a monolith, whether on the state or national level. Everyone has different priorities, concerns, and opinions on different topics, regardless whether they have a D, R or I. Sadly, it's a feature of the legislative process. It's designed to destroy special interests and require vast support to get things done. Sadly support no longer means votes as much as money.
