For automatic triggers you need SOME way to combat extreme unfairness (like something calamity induced for example), but any way i can see to fairly do that doesnt really work in a 2 party system.

I guess in the current state of the dysfunctional US legislative + judicial system that unfairness would be a small price to pay.
