If Democrats really want to neutralize the way MAGA administrations exploit these dusty, antiquated statutes, I think they should convene a federal–state task force made up of Democratic lawmakers, state attorneys general, legal scholars and policy experts with a clear mandate to comb through every federal and state law over, say, fifty years old that hasn’t been reviewed in two decades. Once that task force has identified every relic, they should assign each a “danger score” based on its potential for unilateral executive use, its vagueness or overbreadth, and any history of past abuse—so they can focus on the ten or twenty worst offenders first. For each one, they should draft both clean repeal bills (where the law no longer serves any legitimate purpose) and narrowly tailored amendment bills (where the statute simply needs modernizing or limiting). At the same time, they should build a coalition of at least ten key states—mixing swing states and Democratic strongholds—to introduce companion legislation in statehouses, ensuring a wave of reform from coast to coast. To build public pressure, they should launch a “Sunshine on Archaic Laws” campaign—a simple website and social-media hub listing every target statute, why it’s dangerous, and how constituents can support its repeal—partnering with labor, civil-rights groups and industries already hurt by these rules. Then they should attach repeal or amendment riders to must-pass bills, schedule high-profile committee hearings to put Republicans on the record defending these relics, and, where state ballot initiatives are possible, prepare referendum language so voters can delete or reform the worst laws directly. To make this a permanent safeguard, they should charter a Statute Sunset and Review Commission inside the party caucus so new or rediscovered relics are flagged before they can be abused. Finally, quarterly public scorecards would track which laws have been repealed, amended or still linger, keeping lawmakers accountable and ensuring that future MAGA authoritarians have nowhere left to hide.
