Passing the Acorn Act means now the act will be scaled down and made non-specific. Which means it won’t pass this time around.

But we’re not stupid. I want to hold their feet to the fire and make them vote this bill so that any corporation that screws the government gets their funding cut.

However, it refers to mere indictment, rather than conviction/outcome of said indictments.
