The laws already exist:
Disturbing the peace, Misappropriation of public funds, Prohibition on unfunded mandates.
What's lacking is prosecutors, judges, and juries who see the politicians as getting in the way of the statesmen and the people.
To drag this back towards On Topic, it seems to me that the ntp folks might be petitioned to write up and submit to the Congress, a paper requesting them to keep their danged hands in one-another's pockets, and leave the clock alone.
albeit not in those precise words...

Those darn politicians, there should be a law to put into jail for life any politician who even thinks about proposing any artificial time changes,
While my Libertarian ideals agree with you on the fact that politicians live to legislate, but statemen do not, asking for such jail time for doing such would require yet another law. ;->
Seriously now, GMT everything. I have always GMT'd the RTC -- especially with the common "double jump" that Windows used to pull on me (until they fixed that). But I started GMT'ing all systems over the last few years and have been running things according to GMT time.
I only setup locale on an individual user-base now. That minimizes such legislation non-sense (among other things).
