It’s pretty obvious that the goal was specifically to allow Carroll to sue Trump

No, it is not, and it’s revolting to me that you’d think that. More than 3000 suits were filed in 1 year under the Adult Survivors Act, are all those “happy little accidents”, or do those people mean nothing and you only care about that one case?

Also, you’re omitting the broader context of the ASA: New York’s had a 3 year statute of limitations for civil suits for sexual assault, and they changed it to 20 years.

This was not retroactive, however, so the ASA was passed to allow alleged victims to bring up their cases.
