 fiberguyMy views are my own.Premium join:2005-05-20 kudos:3 | I agree with the "must be reviewed by" date on all laws..
My point, however, on the constitution, is that the document, or "set of laws" date back to when the country was pretty much started... we live by those laws today, so are they out dated? 
I think all laws should have a sunset date on them. Seriously, it would stop congress from having to make new laws to go on top of old laws. The problem we have in our government is that we DO have laws on top of laws.. we don't need "new" laws.. we just need to either enforce the laws we already have OR, update the ones we already have..
I think laws, however, shouldn't be written by lawyers in the first place.. they should be written by the people we elected to write them. While many of them ARE lawyers these days, which is 90% of our problem to begin with, we just really need those in the position to do these jobs to actually do the work and STOP delegating everything off to everyone else to do. Otherwise, why do we have these idiots? Sell off Congress for real this time, and abolish that body of government and turn it directly over to the parties and let their lawyers right laws... oh wait, that's what we already have.. never mind.  |
