[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2206233, member: 26737"] 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.
