Law is the recorded decisions of those with power. There are ways other than legislation to create law that we're only just beginning to explore.

I'm not thrilled at the idea of trying to explore alternate methods to enforce laws.

Can you provide more information / clarification on what those other ways are?

What? Executive orders has been around since forever, and has been one of the main sources of law until very recently (in historical terms). Unless you're alluding to something completely different.
