Back in my crawling around in the attic heat and air days it was against my law to spit in the attic. There is nothing nastier than crawling across some joists with a hand full of insulation stuck to your hand with brown spit.

Is the Constitution and case law included in this concept?
Do you just wake up and say... "I am going to be a DB again today"
As I recall, that idea wasn't used, it was only proposed, but you could read the novel and find out for yourself...
I mean in your idea. It's an interesting concept, having all laws expire.
lol reddog. I'm going to change your name to anklebiter.
Ahh. It would only directly affect legislation; case law would be affected indirectly, and the Constitution, being primarily the box defining the limits of gov't power and its structure, would remain as-is (other than adding the amendment to require the sunset clause). With legislation being time-limited, case law's real importance would be in keeping the legislature from re-enacting laws that are stricken by the courts. If a law isn't re-enabled, it doesn't matter if the case law says it's go or no-go; if the case law says it's a no-go, then re-enabling it doesn't matter.
It would certainly change the dynamics of politics--to kill a "bad" piece of legislation, a party would only have to instigate gridlock in one part of the government as the sunset for that law approached.
I hope you like seconds, because the Brits have already screwed themselves.
They'll never get their handguns back. Any law generated from an emotional knee jerk reaction, with that much investment and that has been on the books this long isn't going to be repealed. That's just laughable.
The Brits have been neutered and they are just a small step above being just a hapless group of subjects.
It's a lesson that should not be ignored. But it seems nobody learns lessons anymore.
