They've lobbied before
They have, but they didn't. And it's not a foregone conclusion that they'd succeed. The longest copyright lifespan is currently 105 years from what I read, and I wonder if they could grease enough palms to convince people it should be longer than a century.
We're already in "excessively long" territory, and Congress still has a few reasonable people left, so I'm not convinced it would happen.
