Do you think that there will ever come a time when we have enough laws
and don't need any more?

They are hired to be the body that enacts legislation when legislation is
needed.  That is not to say that the number of laws per month they pass

sit there all year and drink coffee and shoot the breeze with each other
than pass unneeded laws just to be passing laws.
