Because there’s nothing automatic about our law passing process. How many years is the right amount to strike an old law from the books? You wouldn’t want something like the abolishment of slavery to ever become automatically unenforceable. So now you need someone to decide on a case by case basis which laws should still be on the books… well, that’s what the Supreme Court is for. They don’t reconsider every law, though. It seems to be at their discretion.
