Very populist.

So what?
USCIS has made incredible progresses and name checks are necessary.
So what? Would you hold the same view if your application was pending for years like those victims in the lawsuit? Nobody said name checks aren't necessary. The issue is the lack of explanation from USCIS when someone's case is pending for years for no reason. USCIS might have made progress but not working for everyone.
It is not a question of my/his/her file getting stuck. If you notice, CIS has made tremendous progress - the cases stuck are truly outliers. Even if the CIS system is not perfect, I can understand if 95% of the cases get processed in a timely fashion and the other 5% take longer.
Lack of accountability for delays / lack of explanations still remains a concern though. However, it is a minor thing to fix if the overall process is working well.
USCIS is working well, people who stuck in process have legal issues or falling under different categories (blacklists etc). Don't blame USCIS for taking extra time to double check the person before adjudicating his/her status.
and by the way Permanent Residency as well as citizenship is a privilege not your right.
