If you could repeal one piece of legislation...

[Bono]

what would it be?

I'd repeal the united States Constitution of 1787 and all its ammendments, and go back to the articles of the confederacy, maybe with an ammendment to forbide states to impose tariffs on each other... but only maybe, given that in this days states arent stupid enough to start a trade war with each other. I would include a clause allowing for secession, though.
If the constitution isnt ok, then I'd repeal the National Firearms Act of 1934.

I'd probably repeal the Patriot Act, or the fascist 1996 telcom law.

[Jake]

Gold Reserve Act

Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the worst piece of legislation signed in recent memory, not to mentioned the most deceptively named.

 I had a feeling you may say this, Care to explain why?

You'd repeal the entire Constitution?  Why, is it unconstitutional?

I think the worst part of American law is the Constitution's use of the Electoral College.  Amend it to TAKE THAT [you know what] OUT!!!

Because (1) it is based on the misnomer that Congress can regulate anything that substantially impacts interstate commerce, and (2) it violates the civil rights of business executives and property owners.

Civil rights are things like the ability to own property, sue, vote, etc. Not the right to employment (unless this is a public entity, as in government-owned).

Technicaly it is.

It was required to be ratified by every state according to the document itself, but Rhode Island never did.

Article. VII.
The Ratification of the Conventions of nine States, shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the Same.

It was a violation of the Articles of Confederation, I guess. But anyway, Rhode Island did eventually ratify, I'm quite certain.

It jsut contains so many bad ideas, like letting the federal government coin money.

BTW, here's an article fro you:

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

The Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act.  This was only the latest in a string of bad copyright laws that keep extending copyrights so as to make the concept of copyright being for a limited period a bad joke.  In its place I would make copyright sane again by limiting it to a flat 50 years, and I would make that apply to existing copyrights as well.

The Digital Millenium Copyright Act

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

It's not legislation, but I'd reverse the 1886 Santa Clara County vs. Southern Pacific ruling.

[Joe Kakistocracy]

Not that I feel a great deal strongly about it, and I can't really think of any others right now, but I'd amend the state laws that followed the 21st Amendment, and replace it with age 18.

IMO there's little practical difference between the ages of 18 and 21.

[DanielX]

I dunno... so many to choose from...

the 16th Amendment, i guess.
