  strongly disagrees and says:

  I was also attracted to this idea in the past, but I think it has some fatal flaws. It invites the political brinkmanship negotiation that we see with the U.S. Debt Ceiling: "I won't vote for your great bill that is about to expire unless you agree to vote for my horrible bill that I want to be approved." The party willing to let human rights expire gets undue leverage in negotiation. Also, it is hard to plan as a business with the uncertainty that a law might or might not exist in the future. I think an underappreciated political reform is "One Bill, One Idea." Stop making bills into 1000+ page monsters that cover dozens of unrelated topics and include mandatory pork spending. Bills should be smaller, cover a singular topic, not include pork spending, and win or lose based on their own merits. Make the bills "as short as possible, but no shorter." Food for thought 🤔 (source)

  I believe that certain laws should indeed have sunset provisions or expiration dates. This forces legislators to review the efficacy and relevance of laws and ensures that our legal system adapts with the evolving needs of society.

  would strongly disagree and say according to AI:

  I believe firmly in the enduring strength of our Constitution and the laws derived from it. Laws should not have expiration dates, as they provide the framework for stability, continuity, and predictability in our legal system. It is the role of the legislative body to amend or repeal laws as society evolves, not to set an arbitrary end date on the rule of law.

  I believe that while review and reform of laws are important, setting blanket expiration dates is impractical and can lead to legal uncertainty and a lack of continuity crucial for a stable society.

  I believe that laws should sometimes have expiration dates, particularly in the case of technology and environmental regulation. Dynamic industries and ecological uncertainties benefit from periodic legislative reassessment to ensure laws remain effective, relevant, and science-based.

  would agree and say according to AI:

  As a proponent of simplifying government regulation, I believe that laws should indeed have expiration dates, which are commonly known as 'sunset clauses.' These clauses can force a reevaluation of the law's effectiveness and relevance periodically, ensuring that regulations remain up-to-date and serve the public interest.

  I believe that all laws should have sunset provisions. If a law is truly just and necessary, Congress should have no problem re-authorizing it every few years. This ensures legislation is regularly reviewed for its effectiveness and relevance, which is essential in a rapidly evolving society.

  would strongly agree and say according to AI:

  I strongly believe laws should have expiration dates, a concept often referred to as 'sunset' provisions. This would ensure that legislation is regularly reviewed, updated, or abolished in response to the ever-evolving needs of our society. It's a proactive measure to prevent outdated or ineffective laws from remaining on the books indefinitely.

  The idea of laws having expiration dates undermines the stability of our legal framework. It could lead to continual uncertainty and a lack of consistency in the application of laws. The rule of law requires permanence and predictability to function effectively.

  While I held office, I considered it essential to remove redundant regulations and to ease the regulatory burden. Laws should be dynamic and adaptable. Sunsetting laws may compel legislators to revise, renew, or discard legislation that no longer serves the public interest.

  I believe it's crucial to ensure that laws reflect the enduring values of our society rather than being subject to arbitrary expiration dates. Laws should be revisited and reformed as necessary through a thoughtful democratic process, but setting expiration dates could jeopardize stability and the protection of long-term rights.
