New York poised to legalize adultery

All these old laws made unenforceable because of a court case need to be removed. All of them. They are at risk of turning into zombie laws. There are multiple old laws, including one from when the state in question was still a territory, now being used to ban abortion. The sodomy law that was the basis for Lawrence v Texas is still on the books and it will be used against people the second Lawrence is overturned.

I think every state, every few years, should pass a bill removing all the laws found unconstitutional. Particularly the laws infringing civil rights.

Zombie laws are bad.
