The E. Jean Carroll case involves a alleged act so old she can't even remember exactly when it happened, specifying it only as "late 1995 or early 1996". (This alone tell me it never happened because any normal person would anchor it in time to something like, "before Christmas", "between Christmas and New Year's", or "just after New Year's". Bad scriptwriting is to blame.)

So due to no popular pressure whatsoever, along comes the State of New York's Adult Survivors Act:

The Adult Survivors Act (ASA) is a New York State law enacted in May 2022 which amends the state's statute of limitations to allow alleged victims of sexual offenses such as sexual assault and unwanted sexual contact in the workplace to file civil suits....

"Well IDK," you're saying to yourself, "maybe these poor people really do need justice, even after all this time." Perish the thought! "They" do not give a rat's ass about any such victims, and their hand is tipped by the finish of that quote:

... between November 24, 2022, and November 24, 2023.

Uh, so "justice" now has a brief window? But let's cement the coffin lid shut on this "legislation" with the very next sentence on the wiki:

On the day the law took effect, it was utilized by the writer E. Jean Carroll in expanding her litigation against businessman and politician Donald Trump from a defamation charge to one for battery as well.

Do you think we'll see even a single other case filed under the terms of this Act before it expires? Me neither! No lawyer would take such a case unless it was all cash up front, and maybe not even then.

The whole thing is so astoundingly transparent, compounding by how crisply they write it up for us on wiki. Once again we find that They don't need to keep many secrets these days, because They know no one is looking. Even the few that look do not recognize what they see.

(For the wider context, note that this is all a workaround for the Constitutional restriction: "No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed".)

UPDATE: Apparently, word was getting out about the loophole they constructed, so they decided to get ahead of it by talking about how great the law is:

E. Jean Carroll Admits She Helped New York Dems Change Law So She Could Sue Trump (Daily Caller 5/10/2023)

Their praise is absurd, of course, because they avoid saying why such a great law should expire. CNN’s Poppy Harlow plays her part by not asking. Then she throws in this double-whammy admission/omission:

“They passed it just a few years ago. Were it not for that law, you never would have been able to bring this case.”

She admits it was only this law that enabled the suit against Trump, but first misdirects us with the "few years ago" preamble. No it wasn't. It was passed May 2022. It's all about Trump.
