I never said the \"spirit of the law\" was irrelevant.
I pointed out that people were suggesting their own opinion of what the \'spirit of the law\' was without researching the actual history of the law\'s development to correctly ascertain the \'spirit of the law\' and pointed out that you need to back at least as far as the Tariff Act of 1930.
Unless your research thread through the CFR\'s and statutes takes you that far back, you can\'t have a proper assessement of the \'spirit of the law\'. I have gone that far back in my research on the matter ... although I stated that my research was incomplete, it was primarily because I have not vetted the legal definition of every term en route of that research ... a good lawyer would and charge accordingly to do so. But I\'m not a lawyer, so you get it for free.
