I think given how hard it is for people to write even relatively simple bug-free smart contracts, I don’t think this is likely to happen any time soon.
Aside from that, one of the saving graces in the American system is all of the friction points between various jurisdictions that prevents government from being ruthlessly efficient. I’m not sure that it would at all be a good thing if we could actually correctly codify and automatically enact the will of the people.
