No, that is the fault of the laws as written. The problem with the court

There is also the problem of laws written by people who often fail to
anticipate the unintended consequences of the laws they write,
compounded by the fact that people still don't approach legislation the
way they do software design and testing.
I still think version control, requirements management, and user
acceptance testing have very definite roles to play in the development
of legislation, and I'd still like to see alpha and beta level testing
with bug tracking, or a very close analogue, employed in the rollout of
new legislation. But I'm kind of a voice in the wilderness on that one ..

Hi. That's a clever idea. Some would say that
the alpha and beta testing should be done in
individual states, and then the final roll out
be done at the Federal level.
