I realize that I am on your turf here, your being professionally expert.
However, in order to change a law, someone has to make the case that the law needs to be changed, or taken off the books. This case can be made either on the floor of a legislature, or oftern in courts and appellate courts. Funnily enough, it falls to lawyers to do just that, make the case regarding laws.
Many legislators, not all, evolve from the legal profession, so my question is, to my view, very valid in that I wonder why those of the legal profession do not 'police up the debris' of their profession. The EPA makes other lines of work clean up their mess.
I do appreciate, due to politics as usual, the lack of luster that cleaning out laws that make no sense attracts, but that is a public service necessary to a profession. Professions being more than jobs, but higher callings.
The AMA, for example, and the medical profession typically cleanse crappy procedures fro their arsenal as new techniques or knowledge grows.
Why not the profession of law?
