I don't think so, myself. I think they've extended it to the point you can only see things from so far before you were born, there isn't a public pressure on it at all. Not enough to matter. Only way I see a turnaround is when the Supreme Court finally decides enough is enough. Until then I think they'll continue to extend it indefinitely.
