When did this become a Biden thing? A Republican-led Congress pass this thing TWICE in the 1990s. Sure, Biden likely voted for it, but it was hardly HIS bill.

I am looking at the Wikipedia page, FWIW, and it says:

“Introduced in the Senate as S.3266 by Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-DE) on October 27, 1990”

However, it is noted that it had been previously introduced by Herb Kohl in February of that year. It was passed by the Senate and House after Biden’s October introduction of it and signed by George H W Bush. To call it exclusively a Biden piece of legislation is likely a misnomer, but certainly he was that sort of important figure behind it. No doubt RINOs went along with it too.
