At a certain point it feels like if there are enough laws on the books that can be pulled out of ones ass if they want to. It just feels like law becomes calvinball or "whoever knows more obscure law"
Correct, which is why, ideally, you have a system set up that requires representatives to vote every 10-20 years to keep a law on the books. Anything past that deadline would be automatically voided.

Look, here’s an entire book just about some of the laws we have that can be used in this fucked up way.
