"It should be made a law that Congress (or for that
matter, any law-passing authority, this problem exists
not just in the US), should before passing any law
evaluate its impact and interference with already
existing law."
Ironically, that law would have so many impacts on so many other laws, it would be impossible to evaluate them all.
It's the halting problem for lawyers. :)
- mitchty 13y agoMight get them to repeal some useless laws and trim down the laws they want to pass so they don't impact so much. I don't think it would be that bad overall once they realize the quagmire their current methodology really means.
