I think it has good elements, but I certainly am still not convinced that the benefits outweigh the loss of the stability and reliability that the law you are currently living under won't come under review and change in 5 or less years. A review process is not a bad idea, but forcing a sunset adds too much incertainty in what the laws are and having to keep up with the changes. I think it would be a far better move to have a review process set up to identify problem areas, simplify laws where possable, and create simplified and organized resources for people to use to review and study the law.

If your intent is to limit the scope and power of the federal government over the states with a constitutional ammendment, I think there are better ways to do it than by forcing a sunset on laws. Why not change their constitutional powers directly if you're going to change the constitution.
