That seems to not be taken in to account as much any more and has bothered me when it comes to many recent
sentencings, rulings and regulations.
Do they even teach "legislative intent" in law school? Certainly, they should, but when I pick up a copy of the Penal Code, I don't see anything but the law there - no explanations of what the congresscritters or the leg really intended to do.
