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.
So you're saying that it's a bad idea over all, and that the devolution of power can be done in other ways - or that it shouldn't even happen at all?
