There are 2 solutions to this problem of thousands of laws being on the books, most of which NO ONE could be aware of:

1) Put automatic sunset clauses in ALL laws (yes, even for murder, rape, etc.). Require that each one be voted on SEPARATELY to be renewed. The sensible ones will be, the other ones - not so much.

2) Start arresting judges and state legislators for violations of these ridiculous laws...you’ll see action so fast that it’ll make your head spin.

Yeah, like I said, I don’t expect either solution to be implemented...but in my fantasy world, both would be and it would vastly simplify our system of laws and provide for more efficient and effective justice.

Both fine suggestions, and I offer a third, jury nullification. Teach the prosecutors that they will lose these cases.
Quietly get on a jury, say all the things you know to say about following the law the judges instructions, etc. Then in the chambers wield the unassailable power a juror has. Your decision is beyond review.
Remember not to just be a stonewall digging your heels in. They will remove you for that.

Deliberate, argue, debate, etc. Pretend its a thread with 1500 posts. Enjoy yourself, act open minded, but know your decision is in stone. As a side benefit, maybe a liberal will pop a critical vessel.
