As for elections - why would that make a difference, since the re-election rate of congress-critters is 90% ? It'll be the same folks. And the remaining 10% will be from the same breed, anyway...
Of course, you're right. My point is: the courts are obliged to enforce by the law(s) currently poorly-written. The only way to fix this problem ("problem" from our point-of-view) is for those law-writers to write better law - law that does not criminalize 65% of the population, for 2 big reasons:

1) it's unfair to a vast swath of the citizenry
2) it breeds contempt for law generally

Congress are the guys with that job assignment; they're 'busy' campaigning for the next 8-9 months.
