...47,000 new laws enacted since 1966...

The US House and Senate is also churning out laws at an enormous pace. In a country that prides itself on "freedom", there sure isn't much that is not regulated. Even Red China has way fewer laws that we do. (Most of their are capital offenses, however.)

It really is about time to set about repealing a lot of over-regulation. I think it is also time to call up Congress to solve specific problems rather than just convening regularly to regulate what is yet unregulated. That is the way Congress worked in the old days.

Required: The disassembly. Its members are elected, lawyers are excluded, and it repeals laws over 2 years old that they judge to be dumb ideas. Judges can go back to reading constitutions instead of finding penumbras. The assembly can reassemble a law right away, and the disassembly has to wait 2 years again to repeal it.
