I like this better than my proposal for another branch of governement that removes klunky and out-of-date laws just like garbage collection routines in JAVA or what-have-you.

I would add a requirement that the whole body of law be memorizable by a "reasonable and average person" so it shouldn't be any longer than about 10-20 pages.
