The US Code is a single document of incredible length that contains all of
our law (except for the constitution and the equally-important
precedent-setting court cases). Various pieces of legislation amend it. It
is, in essence, the ruleset of the United States. By repealing the US Code,
we lose *all* of American law, including both copyrights and the Patriot
Act.
