> I advocate that every law should have an annual review to catalog every case where it has been applied.

I like this idea but frankly I don't trust our lawmakers to do a fair assessment of this. Maybe there's an independent, non-partisan committee that does this.

Absolutely true. But at least it would force every legislator to put their name yay or nay on every law every year. There are few things that politicians hate more than having to be on the record for supporting or rejecting something.

Then we all could review the full list of laws they voted for or against and vote accordingly.
