The real reason some of these archaic laws are never struck down is, I think, due to concept of unintended consequences.

Let's assume there is a law somewhere that says it is illegal to cram tennis balls into the toilet.  Ridiculous law, right?  So why not get rid of it?

Because within two weeks there wouldn't be a tennis ball to be found anywhere within the state, because once it's OK to do it, people will have stuffed them all into the toilets.
