We and the Democrats often talk about automatic expungement. We've seen, in the previous attempts for expunging records or having expedited pardons, that an expensive or convoluted process is one that the very people we are trying to help here have the most difficulty accessing. They don't have resources to hire a lawyer or pay fees. They don't have access to the Internet on a regular basis.
I guess I would urge you in any discussions with your colleague to remember that the people we are trying to help here have a very tough time accessing those kinds of processes.
