I don't go to jail if I don't build a bridge. I might go to jail if I'm not aware of the law...ignorance being no excuse, and all that.
Systems like this could actually help with the "death panel" problem, which was mostly due to people listening to propaganda instead of just reading the law for themselves. At the other end of the spectrum are bills like SOPA, a case where the citizens objecting were better informed than the legislators.
Ultimately, citizens are tasked to judge the legislators, so they're involved with the process anyway. The only question is how well they'll do the job.
